FLU VACCINATIONS
Flu (influenza) is caused by a virus which is spread through the air by fluids produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or by direct contact with these fluids on surfaces or objects.
The flu virus is highly contagious and you usually experience symptoms 5 to 7 days after contact.
Flu symptoms are more severe and include high fever, muscular aches and pains, headache, coughing and sore throat.
South Australia Vaccinations
Victoria & New South Wales Vaccinations
For adults aged 65 years and older, it is recommended that they receive the Fluad influenza vaccination over the standard vaccine.
Fluad protects against the same strains of influenza as the standard vaccine, however it contains an adjuvant which results in an enhanced immune response and thus better protection from the flu for this population.
Fluad is only available from your doctor in South Australia and may not be available until mid-April. Some doctors will suggest you be immunized at your local pharmacy so that you can be protected against the flu sooner.
Victorian pharmacies may be able to access Fluad through the NIP (National Immunisation Program) and it is best to contact your local store directly to enquire about this.
