Celebrating the achievements of the Step Up into Teaching (SUIT) program
News 21 MayA message from the Executive Dean Faculty of Education and Arts Professor Mary Ryan.
ACU encourages you to participate in our annual flu vaccination program to help maintain your health and wellbeing, especially with the onset of colder weather and impending flu season. All staff (including casuals and sessional staff) are eligible to participate in the program free of charge.
You can either order a vaccination voucher which can be redeemed at local pharmacies/chemists, or you can book a vaccination appointment.
The Southern Hemisphere seasonal influenza vaccine provides protection against the seasonal strains as recommended by the World Health Organisation. It also reduces the threat of contracting the flu and COVID-19, at the same time, which could ‘overwhelm’ the body. Please read ACU’s FAQs for more information.
The provider Vitality Works has a Q&A brochure, containing valuable information about the vaccination; you can also watch the flu explainer to learn about the benefits of being vaccinated.
Staff should wait two weeks between getting the flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine to optimise the effectiveness of both vaccinations.
If you are unsure whether you should be vaccinated (eg. due to a medical condition, and/or you are allergic to egg products) please seek advice from your doctor first.
You are encouraged to order a voucher or book now to guarantee an appointment. The number of spaces at each of our campuses is limited to the days and times the university has arranged with Vitality Works. Vitality Works administers these vaccinations options and the online booking system.
To access a vaccination, please click here and carefully follow the instructions provided. Once you have requested a vaccination option, you will also be directed to complete an online consent form. If you experience any problems accessing a voucher or booking your appointment, please call Vitality Works on 1300 662 328.
