Extra protection for our littlest: Free flu vaccines now available for under 5s

From today, all children aged 6 months up to their fifth birthday can get a free influenza (flu) vaccine.

This change comes as flu continues to cause high rates of illness and hospitalisations in young children this season, with children under five experiencing some of the highest rates of flu-related hospital care.

The flu season started later than usual and is expected to continue, so it's not too late to get vaccinated. The current flu vaccine is also a good match for the flu virus circulating most widely this year.

✅ Free for all children aged 6 months to under 5 years, pregnant women, and people aged 65+
✅ Helps protect against serious illness
✅ Helps protect your family and community.

The flu vaccine is also free for many people with certain medical conditions.

Book at bookmyvaccine.nz or contact your GP, pharmacy, Hauora Māori provider, Pacific health provider, or local immunisation clinic. Many providers also offer walk-in appointments.

🌍✨ VILACHI Community Ambassadors: First Training Complete!

Last Saturday, our VILACHI Community Ambassadors came together for their first training session as they begin an important journey to support childhood immunisation awareness within African communities across Auckland 💚

During the session, ambassadors explored what immunisation is, why it matters, and the important role vaccines play in protecting children and communities. They also began building the knowledge and confidence they’ll need to share trusted health information and have respectful conversations within their communities.

We’re excited to see this amazing group of community members grow into their roles and help create stronger, healthier communities. 🙌🏾

This is just the beginning! 🌟
