Influenza (the flu) can make young children very sick, even if they are normally healthy. Getting a flu vaccine every year is the best way to protect your child from catching the flu and passing it on to others.

Children aged 6 months to under 5 years can get a free flu vaccine at our Early Childhood Immunisation clinics. To make it easier for families, we are running free extended hours flu vaccine clinics for children aged 6 months to under 5 years on Saturdays during May and June.
