Annual vaccination remains the most important way to prevent influenza and its complications and influenza vaccination is still recommended for all persons aged ≥6 months.
The WA Department of Health is planning to launch the 2025 Influenza Vaccination Program on March 27 and influenza vaccines will be available to order through Onelink from 14 March.
There will not be any pre-allocation of Fluad® Quad in 2025.
All vaccinations must be recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).
Legislative changes under the Australian Immunisation Register Act 2015 include a requirement for mandatory reporting of antenatal vaccinations from 1 March 2025.
An antenatal indicator has been added to the AIR to report if a person is pregnant at the time of vaccine administration. For more information visit:
WA Primary Health Alliance will provide information from WA Health as soon as it becomes available.
