People over 65 to be given new flu shot for free
1 April 2020 - Amid the COVID-19 chaos, everyone is being urged to get the flu vaccine early this year.
Australia has developed a four-strain super vaccine now available free to those over 65.
Flu vaccination is funded via the National Immunisation Program for people aged 65 and over as they have significantly higher rates of hospitalisation and death from influenza compared to younger adults.
