The flu vaccine plays a crucial role in safeguarding public health and preventing the spread of influenza, a highly contagious respiratory illness. Each year, the flu virus undergoes mutations, making it challenging to predict the strains that will circulate. However, the flu vaccine remains essential because it significantly reduces the risk of infection and its potential complications, especially among vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic health conditions.
By getting the influenza vaccine, individuals not only protect themselves but also contribute to building herd immunity, shielding those who are unable to receive the vaccine due to medical reasons.
The Influenza vaccine is free under the National Immunisation Program for at risk people.
All Queensland residents 6 months of age or older can access influenza vaccine for free in 2025 under this Queensland government funded program. The 2025 Queensland Free Flu Vaccination Program is available to all Queensland residents, regardless of Medicare eligibility.
*Flu vaccinations are FREE and appointments will be BULK BILLED for the flu vaccination ONLY. Any other patient needs will be charged at our standard consultation rates.
Generally, the flu isn’t usually serious if you are young and healthy. Many may feel miserable when they have the flu, but the symptoms should normally go away in 1-2 weeks. However, in some cases, children and adults may develop complications. These may include:
An annual flu vaccination is the best way to protect you and your family against the flu. Why not get in early, get your flu shot and get protected?
