Key messages from WA Health:

• Annual vaccination is the most important way to prevent influenza and its complications.
• Influenza vaccination is recommended for all persons aged ≥6 months.
• All vaccinations must be recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR). The ‘vaccine type’ field should be used to record specific details of the vaccine administered, e.g., National Immunisation Program (NIP) or state funded.
• If a person had a 2024 formulation influenza vaccine in late 2024 or early 2025, they are still recommended to receive a 2025 formulation influenza vaccine.
• Eligibility for government-funded influenza vaccines is listed on the WA Immunisation Schedule and the WA Aboriginal Immunisation Schedule.
