It is still very important whaanau to get your flu vaccination in preparation for winter, and this can be done in a safe way.

If you are pregnant, over 65 years old, or an adult or child under four who has an on-going health issue, you can already get your FREE flu shot now!

But you must call your doctor’s clinic first and follow their instructions; they will take all the necessary steps to keep you safe. Call them now!

The flu vaccine does not protect against Covid-19; however it will help prevent Influenza, which is a serious illness.
