Flu jabs are next level

TWO new, stronger flu vaccines will be available to older Australians for free this season in a bid to prevent another deadly outbreak.

More than 1100 people across Australia died from the flu last year, with most of them over 65.

FluAd and FluZone will be free for over 65s when the supply arrives in Australia in April.

“The two new vaccines are about giving Australians the best chance at getting through the flu season with as little impact as possible,” Health Minister Greg Hunt said.
