Free Influenza Vaccine for toddlers
The WA Health Department has announced that it will fund free seasonal influenza vaccinations for children aged 6 months to 5 years this year. Last year this age group had the highest rate of hospitalization for flu. Expect the vaccine to be available from your GP from about mid-March.

The vaccine programme for children is on hold following a spike in the number of children admitted to hospital with febrile convulsions following the injection. There are no concerns regarding the adult vaccine and this programme continues.
