A pharmacy Cessnock NSW locals use for vaccines, medicines and checks

Vaccines for adults and travellers

Pharmacist immunisers give walk-in vaccines on weekdays, covering flu, COVID-19, shingles, RSV and more. Planning a trip overseas? Our travel vaccinations page lists typhoid, hepatitis, polio, rabies and Japanese encephalitis. For rabies vaccination, NSW pharmacists can give pre-exposure doses only; anyone bitten or scratched still needs medical assessment.

Managing medicines

Bring a paper script or an eScript token and we will dispense it. People on several medicines, or who have had recent changes, can ask for a medication review, while our asthma management page covers inhaler and spacer technique.

Checks you can walk in for

Blood pressure evaluations and other health checks are among our free health services. A blood glucose screen will not confirm diabetes; a high result only points to a possible issue, and we recommend speaking with your GP about it.

Visiting wine country?

Council describes the Hunter Valley as Australia's oldest wine producing region, and many visitors stay around Cessnock. If you are away from your usual pharmacy and a medicine runs low, bring your script or token to Abermain on a weekday or Saturday morning. Anyone feeling unwell with a minor illness can also ask about a work absence certificate.
