There has been a lot of discussion in the media recently about vaccinating against influenza this flu season. Here are the facts you need to know:

• Vaccines for the following people are free:
  • All children from 6 months to less than 5 years of age.
  • Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy (influenza and whooping cough vaccination can be given at the same time or at different times during pregnancy). More information can be found at health.qld.gov.au/clinical-practice/guidelines-procedures/diseases-infection/immunisation/research
