What happens on flu clinic day

On clinic day a nurse sets up in a room at your site, vaccinates each person in about 2 minutes, and asks everyone to wait at least 15 minutes afterwards. Nothing to bring: booking and consent are done online beforehand.

Who vaccinates

In Australia, every vaccinator we send is a Registered Nurse with HESA-accredited Nurse Immuniser training. In New Zealand, clinics are run by qualified local immunisation nurses. The nurse also checks that each person is suitable for the vaccine on the day. If someone is not suitable, they are advised to see their GP.

Before the day

  • Provide a private room with space for about four people, a table, two chairs and a bin. The nurse arrives 10 to 15 minutes early to set up and brings the vaccines, cold-chain kit, digital consent device, observation chairs and anaphylaxis kit.
  • Remind staff to wear clothing that gives easy access to the upper arm, and to arrive on time.
  • Tell staff to let the nurse know if they feel unwell on the day.

On the day

  1. The nurse arrives and sets up the room.
  2. Staff arrive at their booked time. Each vaccination takes about 2 minutes.
  3. Staff without a booking can speak with the nurse. Nurses carry extra vaccines and can generally fit them in, but there's no guarantee, so encourage everyone to book online. Everyone gives consent before their shot. Walk-ins consent on the nurse's digital device.
  4. Everyone waits at least 15 minutes after their shot. This is when the nurse watches for any reaction, so staff shouldn't drive during that time. Staff can ask the nurse questions, and should tell the nurse if they feel unwell.
  5. Staff who booked their onsite vaccination with us receive their certificate by email. See Reports and certificates after your flu program.
