The new seasonal influenza vaccine has arrived! The 2024/2025 seasonal influenza immunization is recommended to provide protection against the following viruses (World Health Organisation):

  • A/Victoria/4897/2022 (H1N1) pdm09-like virus
  • A/Thailand/8/2022 (H3N2)-like virus
  • B/Austria/1359417/2021-like virus
  • B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus

The Quadrivalent influenza vaccine contains all of the four strains.

High risk groups include:

  • Children aged 6 months to 5 years
  • Women who are pregnant during the influenza season
  • People aged 50 years or over
  • People of any age with certain chronic conditions

Influenza vaccination is one of the effective means in preventing influenza and its complications together with reduction in influenza-associated hospitalisation and death. After vaccination, it takes 2 weeks for the body to develop antibodies against the virus. Protect yourself, your colleagues, family and friends by getting vaccinated against influenza.

Children from 6 months old can be vaccinated against influenza. Children younger than 9 years old who have never received any seasonal flu vaccine are recommended to receive a booster dose 4 weeks after the initial one. Subsequent doses should be given annually.

If patient is pregnant; or aged from 6 months to 3 years old; or aged <9 years old AND never had influenza vaccination before; or NEW client without referral, a doctor’s consultation is required for approval
