Who Is Eligible for a Free Flu Shot
The following groups are eligible for a free influenza vaccination under the National Immunisation Program:
When to Get Vaccinated
Optimal Timing
The best time to get vaccinated is April to May, before the peak flu season (June–September). Protection develops about two weeks after vaccination and lasts through the season. Getting vaccinated too early (before April) may result in reduced protection by season's end.
Annual Vaccination
The influenza vaccine is updated each year to match circulating strains. Even if you were vaccinated last year, you need this year's vaccine for optimal protection.
Workplace Flu Programs
Protect your entire team with an on-site corporate flu clinic. We deliver programs for organisations of 15+ staff across Melbourne's west. Seasonal programs typically run April–June.
