Swine Flu vaccination program
Australia's Swine flu vaccination program focuses on protecting those who are most at risk of exposure to the swine flu virus, such as health care workers, and those who are more vulnerable to severe health complications from swine flu.
This is why the most vulnerable people in our community are encouraged to get the swine flu vaccine first. This includes:
- pregnant women;
- people with chronic health conditions such as asthma, heart and lung disease, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, neurological disease and people with suppressed immune systems;
- people with moderate to severe obesity (BMI of 35+);
- health care workers;
- Indigenous people;
- parents and guardians of infants under 6 months old.
