What are the benefits of flu vaccination?

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 the Season 2025 Frequently Asked Questions for more information.

If you are unsure about whether you should be vaccinated, please seek advice from your doctor first.

Attending your vaccination appointment

Please bring your Medicare card with you if you attend an ACU Medical Centre as your vaccination will be bulk billed. You will also need to complete a new patient form if it is your first visit to a centre.
