It is very important that all those who are in recommended groups get their free flu and COVID-19 vaccines. Flu and COVID-19 are serious illnesses. They can lead to severe complications, hospitalisations, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and deaths. Vaccination is the most effective way to protect yourself, your family and your community in the months ahead.
