ACCESS TO ANTIVIRALS IF WE ARE CLOSED

If you require a prescription for a COVID medicine and can’t get an appointment with your GP or a GP Respiratory Clinic (https://www.semphn.org.au/general-practice-respiratory-clinics), contact the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (https://ved-enrolment.nh.org.au/ #/).

Early testing for COVID and diagnosis are essential to access COVID medicines. For most COVID medicine to work best, you must take it within five days of getting sick – the earlier the better.
