AUSTRALIANS are being warned not to take influenza lightly this year, as COVID-19 restrictions are being eased.
Pharmacy Guild of Australia National President, George Tambassis, warned the virus can be "life-threatening" and urged patients to get vaccinated.
"By being vaccinated, you not only protect yourself, but also those around you who are unable to be vaccinated, or who are at a higher risk of complications if they catch the flu, such as the elderly, babies and young children," he said.
"I urge everyone to ask their community pharmacy about getting the flu vax as soon as possible."
