2026 Influenza vaccination

The 2026 flu vaccine is now available at Terrey Hills Family Surgery.

Key points and updates for 2026:
For adults aged 65 years and over and children < 5 years, government funded vaccines are available (NIP), or if you are between 5 to 64 years with at risk medical conditions outlined on the NSW health website 

In 2026, Flumist, the intranasally administered live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) , will be available for the first time in Australia and is free for children aged 2 – < 5 years and on private prescription for people between 5 – 17 years old. LAIV is contraindicated for individuals with moderate or severe immunocompromise but is otherwise considered equivalent in effectiveness to inactivated influenza vaccines.

Private flu vaccine cost $30.

Appointments can be booked online with our nurse or by calling reception on 02 9450 1083.

If needed, COVID-19 booster and flu vaccinations can be administered on the same day.

Kind regards, Terrey Hills Family Surgery
