How effective is the flu vaccine?

Page last updated 11 June 2024

Each year, the flu vaccine effectiveness can vary. It will depend on many factors such as your age, health status, and how closely the specific virus strains in the vaccine match those circulating in your community.

 

For further information about flu vaccination and which flu vaccine is suitable for you or your family, speak with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for personalised advice.
