The flu virus survive more than eight hours on surfaces in public spaces such as handrails, doorknobs, and shopping trolleys.[1]
The flu vaccine is free on the National Immunisation Program for all of the following groups:
- Pregnant women
- People over 65
- People with medical conditions such as heart disease, severe asthma, chronic lung condition, and diabetes
- Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 and older[2]
There is no live virus in the flu shot.[3]
Twenty to fifty percent of Australian children are infected with the flu every year.[4]
Approximately 18,000 Australians are hospitalised every year from the flu and related health complications.[5]
Receiving the flu vaccination while pregnant not only helps protect both women and their unborn children from the flu and the risk of related complications such as a higher level of stillbirth or premature birth, but also provides additional protection for the baby during the first vulnerable months of life.[6]
