FAQ
Do I need to vaccinate my whole family to be protected?
Page last updated 06 May 2019
No, you don’t have to protect your whole family to be protected. However, the Australian Immunisation Handbook recommends that everyone over the age of 6 months should receive the flu vaccine every year to protect themselves and everyone around them from the serious complications caused by influenza.
