Minister for Health Steven Miles is reminding Queenslanders to book in for their flu shot ahead of this year’s peak flu season.
Mr Miles says It’s so important for Queenslanders to get vaccinated every year because it’s the best way to protect yourself from the flu.
The best time to get vaccinated is sometime between mid-April through to the end of May, this ensure the best protection during the peak of the season according to the health minister.
The government is providing free vaccines for children under five, pregnant women, Queenslanders over the age of 65 and all Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people.
