All doctor's consultationsare bulk billed
Oxford Village medical centre is a travel clinic accredited by NSW Health. We have most of the required vaccines on-site and it is one-stop clinic for travel medicine. We bulk bill all consults. However, just like your medicine, there’s a cost to all travel vaccines as they are not covered by Medicare. Our doctors and nurses will be happy to discuss with you the needs and the cost of these vaccines.
We are also an accredited International Clinic for Yellow Fever vaccination centre by WHO and will be able to issue your Yellow Fever vaccination certificate during your consultation with one of our doctors.
To ensure you are adequately covered, it is vital to see our doctors or nurses at least 1-2 months before leaving.
Yellow Fever Virus
Yellow fever is a viral disease spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. Most people will get better after these initial symptoms. However, after 24 to 48 hours when the fever and symptoms appear to settle, there can be a second phase of illness with high fever, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes due to liver inflammation), internal bleeding and in some cases death. The death rate is up to 50%.
There is no specific treatment for yellow fever. Thus Yellow Fever vaccination is strongly recommended for all travellers who are 9 months of age or older visiting areas where there is a risk of yellow fever. Many countries including Australia require evidence of vaccination. Please check the requirements of the countries you are visiting prior to departure and talk to your doctor.
