Two new and enhanced flu vaccines will be made available to people over the age of 65 this year following 2017’s horrific season for the illness.
Last year there were over 1,000 flu related deaths, with 90% of those over the age of 65.
The Federal Government has said it will provide the vaccines for free as early as April, in the hopes to better protect the elderly from flu season and has said it believes they will be much more effective.
