Stick it to the Flu - 2026 Influenza Season

Your recommendations matter!

Annual influenza vaccination is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of flu and protect people most at risk. Influenza vaccination is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and over.

Under the National Immunisation Program (NIP), free influenza vaccines are available for:

pregnant women, at any stage of pregnancy and in every pregnancy
children aged 6 months to under 5 years
people aged 65 years and over
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
people with certain medical conditions

New posters for the 2026 influenza season are now available to order. You can display the posters in waiting rooms, clinics, and community settings to support vaccination conversations and encourage timely vaccination. A range of additional influenza resources are also available.
