Book your 2025 Flu Vaccine Now

Flu season is here — protect yourself and your loved ones by booking your flu vaccination today.

Influenza (flu) is a common viral infection that spreads more widely during colder months. While many recover quickly, flu can cause more severe symptoms than the common cold, and for some — especially older adults, young children, and those with underlying health conditions — it can lead to serious illness or even hospitalisation.

The flu vaccine is your best defence. It reduces your risk of getting the flu and also lowers the chance of becoming seriously unwell if you do catch it. The vaccine offers protection for about six months, so it’s recommended annually. While effectiveness varies year to year, it generally protects 7 to 8 out of every 10 people who receive it.

How to get your flu jab:

• Phone Broadway Medical Centre to book an appointment in one of our dedicated flu clinics.

• Visit your local pharmacy, many offer walk-in appointments.

Stay well this winter — protect yourself and your whānau with the flu jab.
