Influenza Vaccination Program 2025: for immunisation providers

​The best way to protect your patients from the risk of serious influenza is to offer annual influenza vaccination.

   

Vaccine supply

The National Immunisation Program has experienced a short delay in the supply of Vaxigrip® Tetra. FluQuadri® will be supplied as an alternative influenza vaccine for children 6 months to under 5 years at the beginning of the 2025 Influenza Vaccination Program until the supply of Vaxigrip® Tetra becomes available.

Influenza vaccine distribution for the 2025 program commenced mid March 2025.​

​Key points

  • Influenza vaccination reduces the severity of influenza-related illness and risk of influenza-related hospitalisations and deaths. 
  • From April 2025, free influenza vaccines will be available to eligible people under the National Immunisation Program (NIP). 
  • Immunisation providers should prioritise children 6 months to under 5 years, Aboriginal people, pregnant women, people with an increased risk of complications from influenza, and people aged 65 years and over.
