Supplies of the 2020 flu vaccine have arrived in chemists across Australia. Pharmacist Danielle Cummings works at Terry White Chemmart in Melbourne. She says with the coronavirus causing heightened health concerns among the Australian public, staff are expecting unprecedented demand.
More than 313,000 Australians were infected with the flu last year, and 900 people died. The Department of Health has secured what it's described as "the largest ever supply" of a seasonal flu vaccine. The Department recommends everyone aged six months and over gets immunised. But health researchers say less than half of all Australians follow that advice.
