FluMist® Nasal Flu Vaccine Clinics – Tasmania
Needle-free flu vaccination for children, delivered by experienced nurse immunisers
Tasmania Vaccine Solutions was established by a local Tasmanian nurse to improve access to safe, timely immunisation services for families across the state.
These clinics provide another option for parents who would prefer their child to recieve the FluMist nasal influenza vaccine, a needle-free alternative for eligible children.
Influenza vaccination continues to be available through GPs, pharmacies, community immunisation providers, and the National Immunisation Program where applicable. These clinics are intended to complement existing services by offering an additional choice for Tasmanian families.
All clinics are delivered by a small team of experienced Authorised Nurse Immunisers.
Our nurses have:
- Experience in childhood immunisation
- Extensive experience delivering large-scale vaccination programs
- Current Working With Vulnerable People registrations
- Strong backgrounds working with children and families
Clinics are professionally run, nurse-led, and designed to be calm, efficient, and child-friendly.
Before You Book
Before booking, you’ll be asked to complete a short eligibility check.
This form is not a consent form.
It simply helps confirms whether your child may be eligible to safely receive the FluMist® nasal influenza vaccine under the clinic screening guidelines.
If your child appears eligible, you will then be able to:
- Choose a clinic location and appointment time
- Complete payment to secure your booking
- Recieve confirmation and pre-clinic information
The formal consent form will be emailed to you after booking and must be completed prior to your appointment.
All vaccinations are recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) so your child's vaccination history remains complete and accessible through Medicare.
Families are encouraged to speak with their health care provider if they have any questions about influenza vaccination options for their child.
