Vaccines (flu & covid) and 15 minutes wait time for allergic reactions

 Side effects

Serious or allergic reactions to vaccines are very rare. They usually occur within 15 minutes of receiving a vaccine. 

 (Asked to wait outside for 15 minutes for annual flu vaccines for allergenic reactions check and if ok, can go home.) [ Take a number to be called and press Buzzer for the light to let nurse know if there's patient outside to be called and flu vaccines can be paid for at Auburn healthcare centre's counter $20 @2023 or can be bought at chemist with doc's prescription if centre don't have stock)


You will be monitored for at least 15 minutes after your vaccination. The person who gives you the vaccine has been trained to respond to immediate reactions.
