The flu (influenza) is a highly contagious viral infection and is often more serious than a common cold. In Australia, it is recommended that any person 6 months of age and older get a flu vaccination to reduce the likelihood of becoming ill with influenza. The flu vaccination is available from participating pharmacies for people aged 10 years and over.

Community pharmacies are a critical partner in providing access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines to everyone in Australia seeking to be vaccinated. Further information and details will soon be announced.
