As we head into the cooler months, now is the ideal time to prioritise your health and protect yourself and your family from the flu. Gerald Burns Pharmacy is making it easier than ever, with free flu vaccinations available for eligible patients throughout May and June.

A simple step to protect your health
Influenza is a highly contagious illness that can lead to serious complications, particularly for young children, older adults and those with underlying health conditions. Health authorities recommend annual vaccination as the most effective way to reduce the risk of severe illness and help protect the wider community.
By getting vaccinated, you’re not only safeguarding yourself — you’re helping to reduce the spread of flu within your family, workplace and local community.
Needle-free option for kids
For families with young children, Gerald Burns Pharmacy also offers a more comfortable alternative. The needle-free FluMist® nasal spray is available for eligible children aged 2–11 years, providing a gentle, easy option for those who may feel anxious about injections.
This nasal spray vaccine has been introduced in Australia as a convenient, well‑tolerated option that can help improve vaccination uptake among children.
Why get vaccinated now?
Flu season typically peaks during winter, and vaccination helps your body build protection ahead of time. Taking action now means you’re better prepared when flu cases begin to rise in the community.
