All Western Australians will have the opportunity to receive a free flu shot during the month of June.
WA has done a fantastic job throughout the pandemic, and with the arrival of winter, everyone is encouraged to get vaccinated against the flu and keep up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines.
To get a free flu shot, just go to any COVID-19 vaccination clinic in the state or book at your nearest participating pharmacy. The WA government also continues to work closely with GPs who want to administer free additional vaccines.
People under the age of 5, people over the age of 65, pregnant women, people at higher risk for flu complications and Aboriginal people aged six months or older are currently eligible for a free flu vaccine in the framework of the National Immunization Program.
Please note that state clinics do not offer flu vaccinations for children under 5 years of age. Children under the age of 5 can access a free flu shot as part of the National Immunization Program.
To stay safe during the winter, keep practicing good hygiene habits, wear a mask as needed, and if you feel unwell, stay home.
