From April 2^nd Karori Medical Centre is offering appointments for flu vaccinations.  Getting immunised will help stop the spread of flu around the community and to those more likely to experience severe illness from the flu. We encourage everyone to protect themselves, and others this flu season.

The flu vaccine is free for people at higher risk of getting very sick from the flu including:

• people aged 65 and over
• people who have a long-term medical condition like diabetes, asthma or a heart condition (ages 6 months+)
• pregnant people
• children aged 4 years and under who have been hospitalized for respiratory illness or have a history of significant respiratory illness
• people with mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizoaffective disorder
• people who are currently accessing secondary or tertiary mental health and addiction services.

Speak with us if you have questions about whether you are eligible for a free flu vaccine.

The cost for people not eligible for a free vaccine is $40

The cost for those wanting the additional benefits of the FLUAD vaccine, the cost is $60 (only those aged 65+ are able to have this vaccine)

We are also running two Saturday morning flu vaccination clinics on April 6th and 13th, 9am-11.45pm
