Influenza is a common disease of the respiratory tract. It affects people of all ages.

Influenza is the most common vaccine-preventable disease in Australia. Although it can be a mild disease, it can also cause very serious illness in otherwise healthy people. It can require hospitalisation and can cause death.

What is Influenza?

Who should receive the Influenza Vaccination?

Annual Influenza vaccination is recommended for everyone above 6 months of age.​

​

Influenza vaccination is particularly recommended for:

  • children aged 6 months to <5 years

  • adults aged ≥65 years

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

  • people with medical conditions that increase their risk of influenza

  • homeless people

  • pregnant women

  • healthcare workers, carers and household contacts of people in high-risk groups

  • residents, staff, volunteers and visitors to aged care and long-term residential facilities

  • commercial poultry and pork industry workers

  • people who provide essential community services

  • people who are travelling during influenza season

How often should you receive the Influenza Vaccine?

People are recommended to receive the influenza vaccine every year.

​

Most people should receive 1 dose of influenza vaccine each year. However, the following people should receive 2 doses, 4 weeks apart:

  • children aged 6 months to <9 years receiving influenza vaccine for the first time

  • people of any age receiving influenza vaccine for the first time after haematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplant

The type of vaccine used depends on the person’s age:

  • People aged 6 months to <65 years should receive a standard influenza vaccine.

  • People aged ≥65 years should receive adjuvanted or high-dose influenza vaccine, but may receive standard influenza vaccine if the adjuvanted or high-dose vaccine is unavailable.
