Continue providing opportunistic influenza vaccinations as influenza cases remain high.

Free Jab June and July has now ended, and while vaccines administered from August onwards are not eligible for reimbursement, providers are encouraged to continue to administer government-funded vaccines to all West Australians including those who are not usually eligible to receive a free vaccination via the National Immunisation Program (NIP) or ongoing state-funded programs.

The Department of Health encourages participating GPs, community pharmacies and AMSs to continue providing the WA community with opportunistic influenza vaccinations as influenza cases remain high. WA Health encourages practices to use their remaining government-funded influenza vaccine stocks and order more if required.
