The Miles Government is doing what matters and keeping Queenslanders safe by offering a number of vaccines and immunisation for FREE.
Flu jabs free for every Queenslander
Free flu vaccinations are now available for all Queensland residents over six months old.
With flu season typically peaking from May to October, it's essential that you and your family get vaccinated ahead of time to stay protected throughout the winter months.
