Free flu shots until 31 August

It’s not too late to get your flu shot this winter!

Flu may have taken a back seat recently, but it can be serious and it’s back. Some people are at greater risk of becoming severely unwell if they get the flu. Flu vaccines are recommended for everyone over six months of age.

Until the end of August, all Tasmanians can get a free flu vaccine at:

• GPs and state-run community clinics for all people aged six months and over
• participating pharmacies for all people aged 10 years and over.

Speak with your GP, healthcare provider or local pharmacist to book an appointment. Normal Medicare arrangements apply for GP consultations.

To book a free flu vaccine at a state-run clinic, call the Public Health Hotline on 1800 671 738 or visit
