Book your appointment for an Influenza Vaccine

Influenza is a serious viral infection that causes the death of many New Zealanders each year. Vaccination against seasonal influenza is available each year and is given by injection. In New Zealand, those more at risk of serious health consequences from the flu are offered flu vaccine; but others can choose to pay to be vaccinated at a community pharmacy that has been trained to give vaccinations.

The flu vaccine is free for these people, who are considered to be at greater risk of complications from the flu:

  • pregnant people
  • people aged 65 years and over
  • people aged 6 months to under 65 years with eligible conditions*
  • children 4 years of age and under who have been hospitalised for respiratory illness or have a history of significant respiratory illness
  • people aged 6 months to under 65 years with serious mental health and addiction conditions*

* For more details on eligibility click here.

 

You must wait in store for 20 minutes after your vaccine (or 5 minutes if you have had a flu vaccine before without complications, and bring a support person).

To book, select a day and time that suits you and proceed to the cart to secure your appointment.
