Flu vaccination more important than ever during the month of April
1 April 2020 - With the 2020 flu season not far away, all Australians — and especially those in vulnerable groups or age brackets — should arrange vaccination against seasonal influenza during the month of April.
Australians should speak to their GP, pharmacist or aged care provider to arrange a flu vaccination over the coming weeks.
From 1 May 2020, all aged care workers and visitors must have been vaccinated against seasonal influenza to enter an aged care facility.
The Australian Government has invested more than $80 million to provide more free vaccines under the National Immunisation Program in 2020 than ever before, including a new quadrivalent vaccine Fluad Quad for people aged 65 years and over.
