Townsville University Hospital’s Infection Control team will begin administering vaccinations for Influenza and COVID19 from early April 2025.

This initiative supports a safe and healthy environment for both students and patients during clinical placements and provides an excellent opportunity for students to stay up to date with their immunisations.

Students who wish to take advantage of this service can contact the team directly at THHS.CilinicalPlacements@health.qld.au to arrange their vaccination.
