The 2023 flu vaccine now available

Published on 11 April 2023

Flu season is right around the corner, and the flu vaccine is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and older. Get your flu vaccine now.

Flu can cause serious illness for anyone, and young children and the elderly are particularly at risk.

Getting the flu vaccine provides you safe, effective protection, and helps stop the spread to others who might be vulnerable.

The flu vaccine is now available at our immunisation sessions in Reservoir, Bundoora, Preston, Northcote and Fairfield.

It is free for people:

• aged 6 months to 4 years
• aged over 65
• at any stage of pregnancy
• with certain medical conditions or in certain high-risk groups.

For everyone else, the flu vaccine is available at a cost of $20 per dose.
