Flu Immunisation & COVID-19 Vaccine (24.02.2021)
While last year’s flu season was mild, it was due to factors such as limited travel, the lockdown, physical distancing and hand hygiene. With people living a relatively ‘normal’ life and travellers returning from overseas, it is important to ensure you receive your flu vaccination this year.
The Department of Health is recommending vaccination against influenza as soon as the vaccine is available.
Private vaccines will be available towards the middle March for $14.00, and the government-funded vaccines through the National Immunisation Program (NIP) are expected to be available at the end of March. Further information will be provided as soon as it becomes available.
In 2021, influenza vaccines funded through the NIP are available to the following groups, due to their increased risk of complications from influenza:
- People aged 6 months to less than 5 years
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 6 months and over
- Pregnant women (during any stage of pregnancy)
- People aged 65 years and over
- People aged 5 years and over with medical conditions which increase the risk of influenza disease complications
The COVID-19 vaccine is being rolled out around the same time to eligible patients. The preferred minimum interval between a dose of the flu vaccine and a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine is 14 days.
Burton Street Family Practice will be involved in the COVID-19 vaccination program, however, at this point we do not know at which stage of the roll-out. Please keep an eye on our website to find out when the vaccine is available at our practice. More information about the COVID-19 vaccine is available here.
