Today, I was walking by the BUPA George St Sydney branch and saw this.
Free flu vaccinations at BUPA Sydney 319 George St. 10am to 4pm, 18 and 19 June (expires today). While stocks last. No appointment necessary.
You just need to sit through the upsell questions after the shot is taken. You even get a free lollipop and coffee!
And before anyone asks…I don't know if Officeworks will price match.
Referrer gets $100 Prezzee e-gift card. Refer a Colleague program only eligible at a participating Bupa Health Insurance Retail Store nationally and/or Australia Sales and Customer Service support line. Quote member number from the referral system.
I still can't take the name "Bupa" seriously - were they high when they thought that up?
I refuse to say "Boopah". I always say "B-U-P-A". People say to me "You mean Boopah?". I tell them, no, I mean B-U-P-A. I did say "EmBeEff", however, because that doesn't sound like a clown's horn.
i got a shot there yesterday:D
did they shoot the deputy ?
My local gp did my flu shot for free in sa
You must be asthmatic then, the government will pay for it…
…or a senior.
Free influenza vaccine
Under the National Influenza Vaccination Program, free seasonal influenza vaccine is available for the following people:
all individuals aged 65 years and over
all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples aged 15 years and over
pregnant women
individuals aged 6 months and over with medical conditions predisposing to severe influenza, namely:
Cardiac disease, including cyanotic congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure
Chronic respiratory conditions, including suppurative lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and severe asthma
Other chronic illnesses requiring regular medical follow up or hospitalisation in the previous year, including diabetes mellitus, chronic metabolic diseases, chronic renal failure, and haemoglobinopathies
Chronic neurological conditions that impact on respiratory function, including multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and seizure disorders
Impaired immunity, including HIV, malignancy and chronic steroid use
Children aged 6 months to 10 years on long term aspirin therapy
Also if you're a carer for any of the at-risk categories, or if you work in an environment where you're in constant contact with them. (which incidentally gives decent GPs a way of giving free shots to almost anyone)
Will Medibank Private Price match ?
Do you mean 10am to 4pm? Does anyone know if any other centres offer vaccinations?
or 10pm to 4am??? scary shots
no, they are targeting the Nightclub crowd who are very vulnerable to the flu.
or they are injecting something else
*10am. Thanks, made the change.
Shortest BUPA waiting period ever: not 12 months, not 6 months - just 20 minutes, maybe less.
2 seconds….just sign your name on a form.
I have a long signature :p

Wow! u must be really good at speed reading…or didn't you read the form before signing?:O
He signed up to get his kidneys harvested too
He signed up to become a woman now too
Fixed! ;)
…or to be a sperm donor.
alwayseric's new ID: fromnowonerica…his/her last one was plain incorrect!
@ wicket1120: Where do I sign?
@strangeloops66 :here you go mate : linky :)
You get 'paid' $300 for each donation….$300 for 30 secs of hard work. Maybe I should post it as a deal? ;)
30 secs? I'm not Ussain Bolt!
What's the maximum number of "donations" permitted per day, per person?
What's the maximum number of "donations" permitted per day, per person?
Dunno…but I love that it says :
The clinic has a private collection room onsite where you can produce your sample via masturbation
Lol is there any other way of producing semen samples?
and it goes on :
We have reading (…) material available to assist you producing your sample.
Reading really??? :)
Anyway I've ordered a free info pack C/O my wife…can't wait to see her face when she opens the envelop>:)
Is that childish?
Lol is there any other way of producing semen samples?
Yes, electroejaculation. Very quick, typically under 10 seconds to obtain a sample. Just ask your vet. Not to be confused with electrostimulation (warning: this Wikipedia page contains explicit nudity).
An electric probe is inserted into the rectum adjacent to the prostate gland
In Netherland, its done by surgeons…on humans!!!

Anyway I've ordered a free info pack C/O my wife…can't wait to see her face when she opens the envelop>:)

Yep. But funny.

$300 yes, 30 seconds no.
Seems like they want around 5 donations ?
Plus consultants, and testing time.
Oh yeah , and your time in 18 years time when your offspring contact you :)
Up to 10 women can have children (who are genetic siblings as a result of your sperm), so a donor could help create up to 10 families.
So 10 x 5 donations = 50 offsprings!!! plus our 3…Boy! we're going to need one massive dining table to seat everyone on Boxing day :O
@wicket1120 :
1)you're way too open-minded.That can't be healthy:p
2)>plus our 3
I'm pretty sure we only have 2 kids…what r u trying to say? that was a typo, right? Right???
@ wicket1120: A bed might have 50 off springs, but I think you mean offspring :p
off·spring noun \ˈȯf-ˌspriŋ\
plural offspring also offsprings
If M-webster says its acceptable….:P
The Macquarie Dictionary has as one of the definitions of offspring, "descendants collectively". No mention of "offsprings". The Oxford Online Dictionaries only have "offspring" as the plural. "Offsprings" must be an Americanism.
And they could all marry without knowing they're siblings. They could move to an island and start the next Tasmania!
Yep, chemicals: sodium phosphate – buffered isotonic sodium chloride solution, formaldehyde, octylphenol ethoxylate, and gelatin…as well as three types of dead flu viruses (other additions).
and gelatin
There's the problem right there…they be jelly! :)
Have you ever wondered what's really in vaccines? According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control's vaccine additives page, all the following ingredients are routinely used as vaccine additives:
• Aluminum - A light metal that causes dementia and Alzheimer's disease. You should never inject yourself with aluminum.
• Antibiotics - Chemicals that promote superbugs, which are deadly antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria that are killing tens of thousands of Americans every year.
• Formaldehyde - A "pickling" chemical used to preserve cadavers. It's highly toxic to the nervous system, causing blindness, brain damage and seizures. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services openly admits that formaldehyde causes cancer. You can see this yourself on the National Toxicology Program website, featuring its 12th Report on Carcinogens.
There, the formaldehyde Fact Sheet completely neglects to mention formaldehyde in vaccines. This is the "dirty little secret" of government and the vaccine industry. It does state, however, that "…formaldehyde causes myeloid leukemia, and rare cancers including sinonasal and nasopharyngeal cancer."
• Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) - A neurotoxic chemical called an "excitotoxin." It causes brain neurons to be overexcited to the point of death. MSG is toxic even when consumed in foods, where it causes migraine headaches and endocrine system damage. You should NEVER inject MSG into your body. But that's what health workers do when they inject you with vaccines.
• Thimerosal - A methyl mercury compound that causes severe, permanent nervous system damage. Mercury is highly toxic to the brain. You should never touch, swallow or inject mercury at any dose. There is no safe dose of mercury! Doctors and vaccine pushers LIE to you and say there is no mercury in vaccines. Even the CDC readily admits vaccine still contain mercury (thimerosal).

I see Jenny McCarthy has joined Ozbargain.
Alzheimer's is caused by a deficiency in acetylcholine.
Antibiotics are not used in vaccines..
Formaldehyde is safe to use in low concentrations.
Injecting MSG and eating MSG is not so different when the concentrations are so low in the vaccines.
Thimerosal is not used anymore.
Not being vaccinated is a lot more detrimental than being vaccinated.
I hope you're doing your own research to make up your mind. Research is using peer reviewed journal articles.
The NEJM is in on it man! Don't trust big pharma! Chemtrails! Those corporate fatcats and doctors are all trying to keep you sick so they can line their pockets!
It's customary for some of the most 'awake' posts on OzBargain to be faded. Wear it with a badge of honour. A short 52 minutes since your post and already MINUS 7.
The propaganda has penetrated the masses. It's an uphill battle convincing them the lovely gov they pay their taxes to (and that lies to them, and that intro's the carbon tax, and that sends your daughter and son off to war to fight for corporate interests, and that plays with their superannuation savings)…it's a battle convincing them that this same gov does not have their best interests at heart.
With all that said, I have plussed you.
It's not even targeted at the strain that's going around. Talk about false security. But that's nothing new.
Aaaa-Chooooooo!
sniffle
cough cough
Being sick with the flu is awesome.
It makes your immune system stronger.
Very Nietzschean.
Yes if you don't die from it
what doesn't kill you makes you stranger…
what's the RRP for these normally? :)
RRP is
"as much as we can siphon from your taxes while accepting "Big Pharma" bribes while we they use you as guinea pigs to test new drugs. We sell it to you using YOUR taxes and telling you it's for your health; basically we call the stuff chocolate and you will comply because you trust us. The true cost is way beyond dollars and cents. Speaking of dollars and cents, your jaw would be permanently open if we told you the real cost to you, let alone the 'runaway funds' and black budgets along with general bureaucratic inefficiencies, so best to keep mum on that. The illusion of FREE is more pleasant."
Happy health!
Regards,
Big Pharma & Big Gov.
@cheepwun:Your rant reminds me of a book by John le Carre, The constant gardener.His protagonist goes on a mission to uncover their unethical practices and suggest the former would go to the extent of killing anyone who might deign to challenge their unholy hegemony.Its a work of fiction.
"The plot was based on a real-life case in Kano, Nigeria."
Click the link and it takes you to an article talking about Medical Experimentation in Africa.
Lots of this still goes on, as well as having gone on in the past, with many unknowing populations. Your linkage just adds more fuel to the 'medical experimentation' fire.

jesus is my flu vaccine
One possible answer to the question: "What would Jesus do?"
Go to ozbargain find out where it is then Line up and sign the form lol
Died of Flu
You: Jesus, why didn't you save me?
Jesus: I did, I let BUPA give you free vaccine. But you rejected.
Jesus' bumper sticker during flu season: "DON'T REJECT THE INJECT"
i know who to send to collect H7N9 samples.
Can we keep the syringe?
Here's a basic fluvax resource for anybody interested: http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/Pages/seasonal_flu…
Why was my neg removed when these come with a risk of side effects and should not be casually taken by all.

Answer: Can anyone say, "Baa…."?
Rather late in the season to be getting a flu shot.
I got a flu shot, then got sick 3 weeks later.
The official response is that you cannot get flu from a flu vaccine because the vaccine contains dead flu virus.Dead virus cannot make you sick.
The unofficial response is this:linky Hope you're feeling better Mate.
the sickness you get is from the immune system reacting to the dead virus, and it appears flu like symptoms.
'Sick' can refer to anything.
The vaccination covers you for a strain of flu, not the common cold.
Symptoms of influenza usually are a lot more severe than the common cold; bed ridden for 1-2 weeks etc
You need this flu shot, there's a potential risk you might die with out it, go to MBF, if you missed out your vaccine from your work place which normally free. I was told this vaccine was last years shot? Don't know if that's true, but since flu always mutate its hard to know if these vaccine works as described.
We might have a World war Z of our own if the flu ain't treated correctly.
If your young and healthy you dont need a flu shot, alot of people get sick for a couple of days post flu injection because the immune system reacts to the dead virus to produce antibodies.
Its more for the elderly or the people that are prone on getting bad chest infections i.e people with COPD, Emphysema, Asthma, etc.
I once got the flu (real flu, not man cold) in my early 20s, couldn't get out of bed for a week. Always gone the flu shot since
why healthy people flock like droves of sheep to the slaughter to get these 'flu' shots is beyond me?!
natural immunity works by having our best defense systems (skin/mucous linings) intact and healthy. After all, isn't that how 95% of viruses spread - through skin and mucous membranes?
I love these doctors who want to jab everyone and create artificial immunity by sticking a rod full of last years flu mixed with a whole bunch of other stuff you dont want to know about pass our best defense systems straight into the bloodstream.
funny, i stopped getting sick a long time ago when i stopped getting jabbed.
there's a lot to staying fit and healthy and maybe asking that question - if its free, do i still want it?
remember what they said about antibiotics only months ago, and yet they were churning the stuff out to every sick man, woman, child and the dog.
maybe world war Z isn't such fictional idea?
Did you actually take the trouble to read the post way up near the top that mentioned that this if for VULNERABLE people, "individuals aged 65 years and over
all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples aged 15 years and over
pregnant women
individuals aged 6 months and over with medical conditions ……"
I'm sure they'd all love to be fit and healthy enough not to be at risk, but they are.
Hot off the press! Hear it from the professional!

If you do get this freebie I hope you at least you find out the brand of the vaccine you took. Better yet just ask for the vial or box and keep it.
Average baaah-baaah that downranks good info on OzBargain says:
"wot? allowing da State to inject me could haz side effectz?!"
More news as it happens.
;)
Bupa - maybe these guys aren't so evil afterall?
