From the Doctor’s Desk by Dr Jane Healy
From all at Glen Iris Medical Group we are wishing that you and your family are all safe and well. 2020 has so far been a difficult year for everyone.
The bushfires brought the new year in, followed by hail storms, dust storms and now COVID-19. Our lives have changed and phrases such as social distancing and lockdown, are part of our vocabulary. Schools are now on-line, many now work from home and the roads are quiet.

Flu Vaccine Update
Dear Patients
We currently have limited supply of over 65 and reasonable supply of under 65 flu vaccine, and are running regular clinics.
Demand for flu vaccines is much higher than normal years and supply is difficult to obtain and limited.
We are working hard to ensure everyone is protected for flu within the constraints of supply.
