Flu Vaccination

Getting vaccinated every year will help protect yourself and others from the flu. At NRCH we offer flu vaccines in bulk billed vaccine clinic sessions, which are available throughout the week.

Everyone over the age of 6 months is recommended to receive an annual flu vaccination. The Australian Government’s National Immunisation Program (NIP) provides free flu vaccines to the following eligible Medicare card holders:

• people aged 65 and older
• pregnant women (at any stage of pregnancy)
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
• people aged 6 months and older with certain medical conditions that increase their chance of severe influenza and its complications
• children aged 6 months to less than 5 years old.

At NRCH, we administer the following vaccines:

• Fluad®Quad (Seqirus) for 65 years and over
• Fluarix®Tetra (GSK) for 5 months to <5y years
• Alfuria®Quad for 5 to <65 years

Continue COVID-19 safety measures

To keep you and our community safe, before and after vaccination, it is important that you continue to:

• Stay home if you feel unwell and get tested for COVID-19. You must stay at home until your results come back.
• Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or use hand sanitiser.
• Always cough or sneeze into your arm or a tissue and put the tissue in the bin straight away.
