When Is the Best Time to Get Your Flu Vaccine?

The best time to get your annual flu vaccine in Australia is from April onwards, before the peak flu season of June to September. Getting vaccinated in April or May gives your immune system time to build protection before flu activity increases. It takes approximately two weeks after vaccination for your body to develop full immunity.

Try not to leave it too late – if you wait until flu season is already underway, you may be unprotected during the most active weeks. Annual vaccination is important because the strains of influenza virus circulating each year are different, and last year’s vaccine may not fully protect you against this year’s strains.
