Tamariki are at risk of getting very sick from the flu, and of passing it on to their whānau. Flu is usually spread by coughing and sneezing and is most common during winter. It’s recommended everyone over 6 months old gets immunised against flu every year. It’s free for people who are pregnant, over 65s, and people at higher risk of getting very sick. Check with your healthcare provider to see if you are eligible. It’s especially important for tamariki with health conditions such as asthma, heart disease, or diabetes to get the flu vaccine. |
