Early flu season prompts vaccination timing advice

Australia's flu season has started early with over 25,000 cases recorded since January and more than 100 flu-associated deaths reported in January alone. The emergence of sub-clade K influenza in the Northern Hemisphere has prompted health experts to emphasise the importance of vaccination timing, with updated vaccines now available. Medical professionals recommend getting vaccinated now to ensure protection through the late winter peak, as vaccine effectiveness lasts approximately four to six months.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
