I’ve had to go three times to my GP to get it for me and my kids. I’m still unvaccinated and they are vaccinated. Supply issues, fridge breakdown, poor communication. It should be easier.
Comment on Australia has had record flu cases this year – and that’s before winter arrives. What’s going on?

There is a lot of disinformation about COVID and Flu vaccines at the moment and it is surprising how many people are in denial.
But then I look at Seppo-land and the LNP and think “not that surprising after all”.

You don’t need to go to your GP.
All the big chemist chains do it, and you can book online.
The day I decided to get it, I was online at 11am, and booked for 2pm that same day.

Yes, kids need to go to GP and I was getting done at the same time. That’s why they are now vaccinated and not me as it will be easier for me to get it going forwards.

I don’t think the flu vaccine ever had a particularly high turnout, though. It’s less to do with vaccine scepticism and more to do with the fact that it’s optional and requires most people to go out of their way to get done. Couple that with the fact that seemingly every year there is a media campaign to scare people into getting it, and I think a lot of people just switch off. The only group that consistently takes it in high numbers are over-65s.
