We wanted to provide you with an update on the flu vaccine at Whiddon Beaudesert Star.
The Queensland Government has given a direction that after 3 May 2021, you must have had the flu vaccine, if it is available to you, to enter an aged care facility in Queensland.
Like last year, in line with this directive, as an aged care provider, Whiddon has an obligation to seek proof of annual immunisation from everyone, including both adults and children, who enter Whiddon Beaudesert Star after 3 May 2021.
We are currently finalising a date for a staff flu vaccination clinic, which will be held before 30 April. We will provide a date once this has been confirmed.
Until then, if you have an questions, please speak to Deb Waters. We also ask that if you plan on arranging a COVID-19 vaccine for yourself, please speak to Deb first as you cannot have the flu vaccine two weeks on either side of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Thank you.
