Flu (influenza) vaccine

What are the benefits of flu shots?

Getting a flu vaccine every year means you have the best protection against the flu (influenza) virus.1 

The flu jab is available at healthcare providers and pharmacies. 

It’s free for people at higher risk of getting sick. If you aren’t eligible for a free one, UniMed reimburses flu shots up to $45 per person, per year (1 July to 30 June).2 

Book your vaccination today through your doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider. Everyone over 3 years old can get a flu vaccine at many pharmacies.
