More Free Vaccines for Queenslanders

More Free Vaccines for Queenslanders Main Image

By Chris Whiting

16 July 2024

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.

The free flu vaccine is available until 30 September 2024.

Book your appointment now with GPs or pharmacies.

Queensland MenB Vaccination Program

The Queensland MenB Vaccination Program will provide free meningococcal B (menB) vaccines to eligible Queensland infants, children and adolescents.

The following Queenslanders will be eligible for the Queensland MenB Vaccination Program:

  • Infants, 6 weeks to 12 months of age.
