Vaccination can also help reduce the spread of influenza to family, friends and vulnerable members of your community.
Vaccinate every year
Influenza viruses change over time, so annual vaccination is recommended to provide protection for the current flu season.

Free influenza vaccination is available under the National Immunisation Program for people who are at increased risk of complications from influenza.
