The flu vaccine is now available
Getting a flu shot is the most important measure to prevent influenza and its complications. An annual flu shot is recommended for all people aged 6 months and over.
Brief appointments solely for the purpose of receiving a flu vaccine are usually bulk-billed. If your doctor addresses other issues in the same appointment (such as taking a detailed medical history if you are a new patient), you will be charged our usual fee.
What kind of flu shot do we give?
We stock the quadrivalent influenza vaccine, provided by the Australian Government’s National Immunisation Program (NIP).
Adults aged ≥65 years are given a stronger “adjuvanted” quadrivalent vaccine to provide further immunity.
