As flu season approaches, it’s important to take steps to protect yourself and your family. The influenza vaccine (flu shot) is one of the most effective ways to prevent serious illness — especially for young children, older adults, and people with existing health conditions.

Why Get a Flu Shot Every Year?

• Flu viruses change each year, so the vaccine is updated to match new strains.
• Immunity from the vaccine declines over time, so yearly vaccination is necessary.
• Even if you’re healthy, you can still spread the flu to more vulnerable people.

Who Should Get a Flu Shot?

• Everyone over 6 months old
• People with chronic illnesses like asthma, diabetes or heart disease
• Pregnant women
• People aged 65 and older
• Healthcare workers and carers

When to Get Vaccinated:

The ideal time is early autumn (March–May in Australia), before flu season peaks.
