Protect yourself, loved ones – get your flu shot
NSW Health is urging everyone to make sure they and their loved ones get immunised to protect against severe flu this year, particularly those in higher-risk groups.
Children under five, pregnant women, Aboriginal people, people aged 65 years and over, those living in aged care facilities, and anyone with medical risk conditions such as severe asthma, diabetes, and heart disease should all get their free vaccination to protect them from severe flu this winter.
While flu cases to date are significantly lower in NSW and throughout Australia than in previous years – most likely due to the public health measures which have been taken to limit COVID-19 transmission – that should not deter people from getting their vaccination.

Influenza – it’s now time to get vaccinated
WA Health has launched the influenza prevention campaign to raise awareness about influenza vaccination amongst the Western Australian community, and to encourage all eligible Western Australians, including those ‘at risk’, to get vaccinated.
With the onset of colder weather, we expect to see an increase in respiratory virus cases, such as influenza, and with the added risk of COVID-19 outbreaks, there is more reason for everyone to get vaccinated against both viruses when they are eligible.
WA Health recommends that you offer all your colleagues the influenza vaccine. Please ensure you leave the recommended interval of 14 days between the receipt of influenza and COVID-19 vaccines.
