Did you know that just 30% of Australians aged 15 to 64 got the flu vaccine last year? Even if you are not at high risk of getting the flu, your vaccine will help protect people who are.
.
Remember that you may get the vaccination at your local pharmacy or ask your doctor whether it is available at your next visit.
.
The flu vaccine is inexpensive, and it may even be free if you are over 65, a First Nations person, pregnant, have a lung illness such as COPD or bronchiectasis or live in a specified state. Consult your healthcare practitioner.
