Flu Shots
Flu Vaccine Availability
This year there are several different flu shots on offer for various patient groups. We’ve tried to simplify the information for you below. If you have any questions about the vaccines or your eligibility for a bulk billed flu shot please feel free to ask your GP.
For any and all patients
For our private flu shots (all patients) we are offering a quadrivalent (4 strain) vaccine, intended to cover 2 influenza A strains and 2 influenza B strains.
These vaccinations are not bulk billed. Appointments are essential so call your nearest Family Practice Medical Centre to secure your shot. This vaccine has been updated since last year’s flu season.
For at risk patients
The Government is funding age specific flu shots for people with a high risk of health complications caused by influenza. These vaccinations will be BULK BILLED for eligible patients, however some practices may charge a consultation fee. There are 3 age specific vaccines this year: 1 for children, 1 for adults and 1 for seniors over 65 year old.
