Updated advice
The Coronavirus infection, now known as COVID-19 is currently in the news. It is a highly contagious pandemic with poor outcomes for vulnerable persons.
It is transmitted from person to person, especially if they have had close or casual contact within 14 days before the onset of illness, or after contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19. There are also concerns about asymptomatic transmission.
If you have any flu like symptoms including fever, headache, cough, sore throat, SOB, loss of smell or taste, it is important you seek medical advice early.
You are advised to get tested for COVID 19, if you have any symptoms and stay home while you are waiting for your test results.

2020 National Immunisation Program Seasonal Influenza Vaccination
Influenza seasons and their severity are unpredictable. Hence, the importance of vaccination to prevent flu-related deaths. The timing of vaccination should aim to achieve the highest level of protection during the peak of the influenza season, usually from June to September. Also, the best protection against influenza occurs within the first 3-4 months after vaccination.
Re-vaccination later in the same year is not routinely recommended but may benefit selected individuals.
Only 1 government funded influenza vaccine is available for eligible persons per year, with the exception of children up to 9 years of age who are receiving the influenza vaccine for the first time. These require, and are funded for 2 doses. All persons aged 6 months to less than 5 yrs are eligible for free influenza vaccine.
The Fluquadri and Vaxigrip Tetra is available for all people aged 6 months and over (including 65 years and older). A new vaccine, Fluad Quad is now available for all people aged 65 years and over. This QIV contains an adjuvant and is recommended for this age group.
We welcome your queries about vaccination.
