| | | | Queensland Government announces free pharmacy flu shots | | State facing a severe outbreak of Influenza A. | | Queensland Health Minister Yvette D'Ath today announced that all Queenslanders will be offered a free flu vaccination, with the jabs available to anyone aged six months and older.
The vaccines will be available free from GPs and pharmacies from now until the end of June, with the aim of minimising the impact of influenza case numbers which are climbing "faster and earlier than expected".
There are no changes for people already eligible under the National Immunisation Program, who should continue to access influenza vaccine from their usual providers.
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia welcomed the announcement, saying the move will "improve vaccination accessiblity for Queenslanders, including children, while also valuing the expertise and availability of pharmacists".
