8 April 2020 - Australia’s biggest health company, CSL, is stepping up supplies of the latest flu vaccine after Health Minister Greg Hunt said there has been a strong take-up as people seek to bolster their immunity amid the coronavirus pandemic.
GP clinics and pharmacies across the country have begun vaccinating Australians in the past two weeks against the latest strain of flu.
Those aged over 65, young children and people who are classified as high risk can access free vaccinations under the government’s national Immunisation Program.
