We’re really encouraged by Pharmac’s proposal to extend free flu vaccinations to tamariki aged 6 months to 5 years. If approved, this could mean protection for more than 250,000 children across Aotearoa from 2027.

This would be great news for our littlest patients and their whānau.
As a general practice, we see first-hand how tough flu season can be on young children and their families. Making the flu vaccine more accessible means:

- Fewer hospital visits
- Less serious illness
- Healthier homes and communities.

This is a positive step toward improving equity in healthcare and supporting whānau to keep their tamariki safe and well.

Immunisation is one of the simplest and most effective ways we can protect each other – especially our pēpi and young children who are more vulnerable to complications.

We support this proposal and encourage whānau and our wider community to take part in the consultation process.
Together, we can create healthier futures for our tamariki!

You can check your current eligibility for a free flu vaccination here –

A yearly flu vaccine is recommended for everyone over 6 months old. It is free if you are aged 65 and over, if you are pregnant, and for lots of other people.
