Eligibility for 2021 season influenza vaccines
Influenza vaccines are funded under the National Immunisation Program for the following groups due to their increased risk of complications from influenza:
All other individuals not included in the categories above can purchase the vaccine from their doctor. Private vaccines cost $20 per vaccine.
Optimal protection against influenza occurs within the first three to four months following vaccination. Timing of vaccination should aim to achieve the highest level of protection during peak influenza season. This usually occurs from June to September in most parts of Australia. Vaccinating from April provides protection before the peak season.
The preferred minimum interval between a seasonal influenza vaccine and a COVID-19 vaccine is 7 days.
