Free flu vaccinations available in Nepean Blue Mountains for vulnerable populations
It’s getting cold outside which means the annual influenza season is upon us.
Far more serious than the common cold, influenza may last for more than a week and can include fever and chills, cough, runny nose, joint pain, headaches, nausea and vomiting.
Influenza is highly contagious and for some people, can lead to a severe and life-threatening illness.
The 2025 flu vaccine is available now and offers the best protection from the flu virus this season.
Some people are at higher risk of severe illness from influenza and are eligible for a free flu vaccine:
- Children aged 6 months to under 5 years
- Pregnant women
- Aboriginal people aged 6 months and over
- Anyone aged 65+
- People with serious health conditions.
To help protect our community against flu, the Nepean Blue Mountains Local Heath District Immunisation team from the Public Health Unit will be hosting influenza vaccination clinics for the community throughout the District.
