Hon ANDREW LITTLE: The influenza vaccination programme will begin on 1 April this year. Ahead of this, officials at the Ministry of Health and Pharmac are confirming the enhanced eligibility criteria for a free flu vaccination with a focus on increasing uptake for those already eligible for the influenza vaccination as well as those at risk. We wanted to maximise uptake by those who are already eligible for a free dose, which means that they will be available for pregnant women, people over the age of 65, and people who have certain medical conditions, including those with cancer and diabetes. I want to remind everyone that while they can get their COVID-19 vaccinations at the same time as their influenza vaccine, the best thing they can do to keep themselves and their family and their community safe is to get vaccinated or boosted against COVID19 as soon as possible.
