According to Flutracking, only 45 per cent of Australians 18-64 in 2021 have had their flu vaccine – compared with 71.8 per cent at the same time last year.
I know my local doctors are pushing getting the flu shot, once you are two weeks past your second Sars-CoV-2 shot.
However, there is also an issue this year, in that the reduced presence of Influenza due to the widespread use of masks has meant the type of flu shots being offered are more generic than previous.
