Why should I get the 2023 flu vaccine?

The upcoming 2023 flu season is difficult to predict, as seasonal viruses like the flu don't always follow predicted patterns.

The risk of COVID-19 co-infection (having the flu and COVID-19 at the same), on top of the already existing pressure from COVID, may contribute to an increasing strain on our healthcare system; therefore, preparation is of the utmost priority. 

Why do I need to get a flu vaccine every year?

Annual influenza vaccination is recommended for two important reasons:

  • protection from the previous vaccination lessens over time, and

  • the circulating influenza viruses can change and the strains in the vaccine
    usually change each year in response to the circulating virus pattern.

Who can get a free 2023 flu vaccine?

Flu vaccinations are free for: 

  • Tamariki aged 6 months to 12 years old
  • People aged 65 years and over 
  • Māori and Pacific people aged 55 years and over 
  • Pregnant people 
  • People who have a long-term medical condition like diabetes, asthma, or a heart condition (ages 6 months+)
  • People with serious mental health or addiction needs

If you're not eligible for a free flu vaccination, these usually cost $25-$45.

Where can I get my 2023 flu vaccine?

You can get your flu vaccine through your GP, usual healthcare provider or local pharmacy.

From 1 April 2023,  locations that offer the 2023 flu vaccine in Nelson Marlborough will take appointment bookings through Book My Vaccine.

It is safe to receive your flu vaccination at the same time as your COVID-19 vaccine/booster - select this option on Book My Vaccine when you go to book.


Protect against & prepare for COVID-19

Ministry of Health numbers show COVID-19 is still very much circulating in our communities.

The best thing you can do to protect yourself from
getting sick from COVID-19 is to get boosted:

Screenshot 2023 03 31 at 13.20.32 PM

Boosters provide an extra layer of protection to your previous vaccination and keep your immunity levels high. The bivalent booster is now being used in New Zealand and works by having two components (strains) of the virus, some of the original virus strain and some of the omicron variant to provide broad protection against COVID-19. 

People now eligible are those:

  • aged over 30,
  • pregnant & aged over 16,
  • aged 16-29 & at higher risk of severe illness,
  • or aged 12-15 & severely immunocompromised
