AVAILABLE NOW!! A nasal spray flu vaccine, pioneering in Australia, is now accessible for children between two and five years old (prior to turning 6) at no cost. Administered similarly to standard nasal sprays, a small dose is sprayed into each nostril, ensuring quick absorption, thus maintaining efficacy even in the event of a sneeze post-administration. This service is specifically designed for children aged two to five years, offering parents the flexibility to choose between the nasal spray vaccine and the conventional needle flu vaccine, with the latter being freely available to all Queensland residents aged six months and above. For further details, kindly contact Mount Louisa Medical Centre at 47742036.

The flu is highly contagious and serious. Find out what the signs and symptoms are, and how getting vaccinated stops it from spreading.
