Influenza remains a serious health risk in Australia, with over over 26,900 laboratory-confirmed influenza cases already reported by early 2026. Last year saw a severe 2025 season, with hundreds of thousands of infections and over 1,700 deaths.
Protection that works
The flu vaccine can reduce doctor visits and hospitalisations by around 50%, helping keep symptoms milder if you do get sick.
Low vaccination = higher risk
Only about 1 in 3 Australians were vaccinated in 2025, leaving many vulnerable, especially children and older adults.
Protect yourself and your community
With new, highly contagious strains emerging in 2026, vaccination is the simplest way to reduce spread and protect those most at risk.
