Vaccinations made convenient at Discount Drug Stores

Flu Vaccinations

Yearly flu vaccination is recommended for any person aged 6 months and older in Australia.² The flu can affect people of all ages, especially those most at risk such as babies, pregnant women and the elderly. Various flu vaccine options are available, including the standard quadrivalent, cell‑based formulation, high‑dose vaccine for those over 60, and an enhanced vaccine for those aged 65 and above. ³

Certain flu vaccines are covered by the National Immunisation Program (NIP) for eligible individuals.³ Speak to your Discount Drug Store pharmacist to discuss the flu vaccination choices available to you and whether you are eligible for a free flu vaccination.
