“This is particularly important for those in high-risk groups, such as the elderly and children aged six months to five years. If you live in an aged or disability care facility, are aged over 65 or are immunocompromised, now is the time to book in.

“Whilst we can appreciate members of the public can have vaccine fatigue and they’re a bit over it, the flu virus doesn’t care,” he
So there you have it: a free flu vaccine should be coming in hot for loads of people.
