New season influenza vaccines under the National Immunisation Program are expected to be available from April but timing may be different for your local area.
Aged Care Residents and staff should get their annual influenza vaccine anytime from April onwards to be protected for the peak flu season, which is generally June to September.
The highest level of protection happens in the first 3 to 4 months following vaccination.
Influenza vaccines can be given on the same day with a COVID-19 vaccine. There is no set time to wait between having a COVID-19 infection and then having the influenza vaccine. Once you are feeling well and have no fever, you can get an influenza vaccine.
