Cold and flu season is rapidly approaching, and we encourage anyone who can to get their annual influenza vaccination. By keeping up-to-date on your flu shots, you help reduce the risk of serious  influenza infection and protect those around you.

As COVID-19 restrictions ease and we spend more time in public spaces, it is important to get a flu shot. Strains of influenza virus can change from year-to-year – getting the latest vaccine helps ensure you have adequate protection against the current strains.

SA Health has coordinated for the flu vax to be available at some COVID Vaccination Sites. It is also available through your GP and certain pharmacies.

Other ways you can help reduce the spread of influenza include:

  • Wearing a face mask in public spaces
  • Coughing or sneezing into your elbow
  • Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, or mouth as much as possible
  • Regularly washing your hands with soap and water
  • Cleaning contact surfaces and objects you touch

Visit SA Health’s ‘Stop the flu’ webpage for more information.
