Coronavirus Vaccine
Growlife Medical

  Coronavirus vaccines protect your family from the highly contagious COVID-19 virus and its potentially serious symptoms.


Astra Zeneca vaccines are available at all Growlife Medical clinics in Brisbane. Pfizer vaccines are now available in at our Highgate Hill clinic, and are expected to be available at other clinics by late September 2021.


There is no cost to you for receiving the Coronavirus vaccine at Growlife Medical, with the consultation bulk billed to Medicare.  The Coronavirus vaccine rollout is strictly managed by the Australian Federal government. 


All doctors who choose to consult at Growlife Medical are very comfortable that the COVID-19 vaccination is much safer than contracting the COVID-19 virus. 


Please contact Growlife Medical if you have any questions about booking your Coronavirus vaccine shots.

COVID Vaccination Program


We are now providing COVID vaccinations at all Growlife Medical Centres. To Book Online, choose the clinician "COVID19 Vaccine" at your chosen location.

We are working hard to get the majority of adults vaccinated. Until then, please continue to adhere to the physical distancing guidelines, maintain hygiene, isolate and get tested if unwell – even if you think it isn’t COVID. Because we have remained so safe, there might be a reluctance to do so. But it is only through the diligence of our community doing the right thing for each other that we are so relatively unaffected.

Best wishes,
The Growlife Medical Team
