    Free for all in QLD- Flu jabs

    Queenslanders are being offered a free flu vaccine in a bid to protect against Influenza A as case numbers surge across the state.
    People aged six months and older will be able to get a free flu vaccine from now until mid-June from their local GPs and pharmacies.

    It comes amid a major outbreak that had seen more than 4,000 flu cases already reported this year.
    Queensland Health warns cases have been doubling every week — increasing from 1,848 cases to 4,282 in the latest data released last week.Key points:

    • More than 150 Queenslanders have been hospitalised with the flu so far, while 10 are in ICU
    • The Australian Medical Association says Queensland's current flu trajectory is "frightening"
    • Businesses have been warned to prepare for staffing shortages over the winter months





    Now my bit. You lucky lucky buggers! I have to charge for everyone over 5 and under 65 years old. The price is $15 and we do not charge for the Doc or Nurse giving it. Getting the $15 or working out who in the >5 and <65 might have a health condition that allows a freebie here as well That costs me a lot in time and admin.

    When I say lucky I think QLD Docs and Nurses are as well as free makes it cheaper and quicker! I wonder if we can all just drop up for a visit and a flu shot

    Won't do you any good James, the needles are tailored to high class northern bugs, not the common southern germs.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Love it Ian. We do have needles of all sizes at work. The little ones are used 99% of the time down here. We are little ****** perhaps

    Well, it turned out that I had to fork over the spondulicks, as the freebie is dependant on D.O.B.

    I'd be disputing this and asking for a refund. This statement from Qld gov clearly states "Free Flu Jab for Every Queenslander"
