It’s winter in Queensland, aka puffer jackets, hot drinks and dressing for Antarctica when it’s 20°C. 🥶☕

But while we joke about the cold, winter illnesses are no laughing matter. 🤧

The flu can cause serious illness and lead to hospitalisation. It can be particularly serious for people aged 65 years and over, infants, young children, pregnant women, and anyone with a chronic illness or low immunity, which is why vaccination is so important for these groups.

The free flu vaccine is available now for all Queenslanders aged 6 months and older.

All children aged 2 to 5 years, (before they turn 6), can now get a free nasal spray vaccine instead of an injection. Older children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years (before they turn 18) can also get the nasal spray vaccine for free if they struggle with needles.

You can get your vaccination from a GP, pharmacy, community clinic, or another vaccination provider.
