NSW Health is implementing the new flu bug campaign and urging people to get their flu shot.
The Korean flu poster which include contents that ‘get your flu shot’, ‘Cough and sneeze into your elbow’, ‘Clean your hands’ and ‘Stay home when sick’ has been spread.
NSW Health’s Director of Communicable Diseases, Dr Vicky Sheppeard, said the flu vaccines are now available at most GPs, Aboriginal Medical Services, and for children, at most council and community health services that routinely provide childhood vaccination services.
“Vaccination is your best protection against the flu, so we encourage you and your loved ones to get vaccinated against this deadly infection this winter,” Dr Sheppeard said.
Flu shots are available for free to members of the community who are pregnant, children up to five years of age and people over 65 years of age, most Aboriginal people and those with medical conditions such as HIV, asthma, diabetes and heart problems.
