What you need to know
Getting a flu jab helps reduce your risk of getting really sick or having to go to hospital.
Reopening New Zealand's border means we will see new strains of flu spreading in our communities.
Flu vaccines are free for those people most likely to get very sick - people who are over 65 years of age; Māori and Pacific people over 55 years of age; pregnant people; and those with underlying health conditions.
