"After a long wait to be involved in the Covid vaccination roll out, the vaccines have arrived, and we are ready to start vaccinating," pharmacy owner Sarah Hazell said on Monday.
"We urge the community who are not yet fully vaccinated to come forward and get their immunisation.
"As you would be aware the Delta strain is virulent and is transmitting at an extremely rapid rate. It is making people extremely sick, including young people."
At this stage the pharmacies only have access to the Astra Zeneca vaccine.
Refer to the government's eligibility checker online to find out which vaccine is best for you.
If you do not have the ability to do this, please call the pharmacy and they will advise you if we are able to vaccinate you or refer you elsewhere.
Bookings can be made through findapharmacy.com.au or by phoning the pharmacy on 6852 1111 (Flannery's) or 6852 2001 (Life Pharmacy).
Nurse Immuniser, Rachel Hayes, along with six pharmacist immunisers are available at Flannery's and Life Pharmacies to provide the vaccine.
During this current lockdown the local pharmacies are also reminding the community that pharmacy deliveries are available weekdays.
"Many patients keep their prescriptions on file at the pharmacy and therefore we can deliver their pharmacy supplies in a Covid safe manner," Sarah said.
"We can deliver to anyone in the community within the town limits or by mail if you live out of town.
"If you have symptoms get tested and please do not come into the pharmacy, phone us and we can get your medication to you in a COVID-safe way."
