2020 workplace influenza immunisation cancelled

The 2020 Quadrivalent (4 strain) influenza vaccine, scheduled for Thursday, 2 April 2020, between 4.00pm and 6.00pm is cancelled.

Although we designed strict procedures to ensure social distancing and protection of your health and safety, a so-called “lockdown” would make the vaccinations impractical. Therefore, after discussing the situation with iMedical, we have decided that there is no option but to cancel this year’s flu shots.

If you have not already done so, please obtain the flu vaccine from your pharmacy or your GP. The advice from state and federal governments is clear. The need for a Quadrivalent (4 strain) influenza vaccination is even greater this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The last thing you or the public health system needs right now is to be admitted to hospital with a seasonal flu.
