NPS MedicineWise has launched a new "explainer" article for consumers, providing evidence-based information to answer questions about flu vaccinations.
NPS MedicineWise Medical Advisor and GP, Dr Jill Thistlethwaite said the take-home message was that "annual vaccination is recommended for everyone over six months of age".
The article covers who is most at risk of flu, who should be vaccinated against it and why an annual immunisation is required even if you had one last year.
The safety of the vaccines in Australia, the impact of age on the vaccine efficacy, and where to find more resources, along with state-by-state and territory-specific information - visit nps.org.au.
