FLU VACCINES Bookings are now open and can be booked online via Manage my Health or by calling reception This year there are only two funded vaccines for eligible patients. These are the Afluria Quad Junior for children aged 6 months – 35 months, and Afluria Quad for those aged 3 years + For those aged 65 years and over there is non-funded vaccine (Fluad Quad) which is available at a cost of $36. The benefit of this vaccine is that it may last longer than the Afluria Quad and may provide better protection for some older people If you would like this vaccine instead of the funded one (Afluria Quad), please let us know when booking your appointment. UPDATE 2/5/2022 Fluad Quad is out of stock in New Zealand. We do not know when it might be available again.
