It’s flu season again and health authorities are warning us to get the flu vaccine.
The Federal Government’s National Immunisation Program and State Government funding means some people can get a flu shot for free. This includes:
You can get the flu shot from your GP or a pharmacy or at a local council or community health clinic. Some may charge you a consultation fee so ring ahead and check.
Even if you don’t qualify for a free flu shot you might still want to get one. Check for the best price but we found pharmacies offering flu shots for between $14.99 (Chemist Warehouse) and $19.95 (Terry White, Priceline). It could be a whole lot cheaper than getting the flu, taking time off work and having to visit a doctor!
