- People aged 65 and over
- Pregnant women (at any stage of pregnancy)
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perople aged 6 months and over
- Children 6 months to less than 5 years
- People 6 months and over with certain medical conditions that increase their risk of severe influenza and its complications.
If you are not a part of one of the above groups, the Government is offering all Queensland residents over the age of 6 months the influenza vaccine for free in 2024. This programme has now commenced and will conclude on 30 September 2024.
