Great news for our Mob – FluMist is now funded for kids aged 2–17 years (previously 2–5 years only)! This expands FluMist nasal spray vaccine eligibility to include more children and teens.

This means we can now offer a needle-free flu vaccine to a much wider group of young people – making immunisation easier, especially for those who are needle-averse.

✅ Quick, easy, and kid-friendly
✅ Great opportunity to boost flu vaccination uptake
✅ Let’s minimise wastage and maximise protection

Now is the time to book into your local clinic.
