Vaccination is highly recommended for people aged 65 years and over as they are at high risk of developing serious complications from flu. This is partly because our immune defence weakens as we age.

All adults aged 65 and over are eligible for a free influenza vaccine that is specifically made to boost the immune response for better protection.

When is the best time to get a flu vaccine?

It is recommended that you get your annual influenza vaccine anytime from April onwards to be protected for the peak flu season, which is generally June to September. The highest level of protection happens in the first 3 to 4 months following vaccination.

It is never too late to get your vaccination as influenza can circulate in the community all year round.

The influenza vaccination is recommended for pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy.

If you had last season's flu vaccine late last year or early this year, you should still get the new season vaccine when it becomes available.

Babies and children have higher risks of complications from the flu. Some children may be unable to attend childcare or preschool for two weeks or more, whilst every year in Australia, hundreds of children become so unwell from the flu that they need to be treated in the hospital. Most of them are babies and children under 5 years of age.

Protecting your baby against influenza starts when you're pregnant.

For every pregnancy and at any stage of pregnancy, it is safe and recommended for women to get a flu shot yearly. Changes to immune, heart and lung function during pregnancy can increase vulnerability to flu-related complications.

Getting vaccinated during pregnancy is also the best way to protect your newborn. By getting the flu vaccine, you pass on the protective antibodies through the placenta which protects them in their first few months of life, when they are most vulnerable and too young to have the influenza vaccine.
