Co-administration of COVID-19 Vaccination and Flu Vaccine
A COVID-19 vaccination and an influenza vaccination can be administered at the same time and may be provided to patients during the same attendance.
A vaccine suitability assessment MBS item would be billed for the COVID-19 vaccination. Influenza vaccine services are typically administered with standard MBS attendance items.
While medical practitioners are under no obligation to bulk-bill a patient receiving an influenza vaccination, a patient who also receives a COVID-19 booster vaccination as part of the same occasion of care must be bulk-billed for the MBS COVID-19 vaccine suitability assessment component of the overall service.
