After a record number of flu cases last year in Australia, experts are warning all Australians of the need to get the latest updated annual vaccine - as well as adopt other hygiene measures to reduce their risk.
Key Points
- Every year, from April to September, it's influenza season - when there is an increase in cases of what's commonly called the flu.
- So far this year, 63,000 cases of influenza have been recorded nationally.
- Vaccination remains the most important way of reducing the risk of catching the flu this season, but other measures that can be adopted include: hand hygiene, masks, improved air quality and ventilation.
