Vaccination timing
Annual influenza vaccination is recommended from April onwards for protection during the peak season. This is typically June to September in most parts of Australia.

Special considerations include:

• People travelling to destinations where influenza is circulating. This can be year-round in the tropics.

For patients who received a 2023 influenza vaccine in late 2023 or early 2024, it is still recommended they receive a 2024 vaccine when they become available.
