Frequently Asked Questions
Is the flu vaccine safe?
Yes. The 2026 flu vaccine has been thoroughly reviewed by the TGA and Queensland Health. At Coorparoo Marketplace Pharmacy, vaccinations are administered by trained, accredited pharmacists. Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as a slightly sore arm or brief fatigue that resolves within a day.
Can I have the flu vaccine on the same day as other vaccines?
Yes — including the COVID-19 vaccine. No waiting period is required between flu and other vaccines, provided you’re feeling well on the day. Our pharmacists will confirm this during the brief pre-vaccination screening at Coorparoo Marketplace Pharmacy.
I have an egg allergy. Can I still get vaccinated?
Yes. Flu vaccines contain only minute traces of egg protein. Even people with a history of anaphylaxis can safely receive the flu vaccine at Coorparoo Marketplace Pharmacy. Please let our pharmacist know about your allergy when you arrive so we can take appropriate precautions.
What happens after my injection?
After your flu vaccination, we ask you to wait 15 minutes before leaving — standard practice for all vaccinations. Our pharmacist will record your vaccination in the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) automatically. No paperwork needed from you. You walk out protected, with your record updated.
I can’t make it in. Can I get more info via SMS?
Yes — SMS us on 0483 958 073 and we’ll get back to you promptly. You can ask about eligibility, the 2026 Queensland Free Flu Vaccination Program, FluMist nasal spray for kids, or booking a suitable time. We respond during opening hours, Monday to Saturday.

Exactly What Happens When You Walk In for a Flu Vaccination in Coorparoo
A lot of people have never had a vaccination anywhere other than a GP clinic. If that’s you, here’s exactly what to expect when you walk into CMP for your 2026 flu vaccination in Coorparoo.
You walk in and you’re greeted. Not handed a number. Not pointed to a waiting area. You’re treated like any other patient who’s come in for care. We take your details and set up your vaccine record in the system — this is what we need to dispense the vaccine properly and update your immunisation record afterwards.
You take a seat in our lounge. We’ll hand you a brief screening form to fill out — standard questions about your health, any previous vaccine reactions, allergies, and current medications. This takes about two minutes and is the same process used at any accredited vaccination provider.
Your pharmacist comes to you. Once the form is done, our pharmacist will sit with you and go through the screening together, asking a few follow-up questions. This isn’t a formality — it’s a genuine safety check, and it’s part of why pharmacy-administered flu vaccinations Coorparoo are as safe as those done at a clinic.
The injection. Quick, professional, gentle. Most people are surprised by how fast it is. We patch you up straight after.
You stay for 15 minutes. Standard practice for all vaccinations — we ask you to remain in the pharmacy so we can monitor for any immediate reactions. This is rare, but it’s the right protocol and we take it seriously. Most patients use this time to leave us a Google review. (We genuinely love that, and we always notice.)
While you’re sitting, we update your Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) record. This is the official national database, and your 2026 flu vaccination in Coorparoo will be permanently recorded there. Your GP can see it. If you need proof of vaccination, this is what you’ll reference.
You walk out. No payment. Your flu vaccination in Coorparoo is completely free under the 2026 Queensland Free Influenza Vaccination Program — for every Queensland resident aged 6 months and over, regardless of Medicare status.
