ACNP joins the Immunisation Coalition to Promote the Benefits and importance of Flu Vaccination
"It’s vital that we encourage more conversation about flu, and vaccination. We must not lose interest or momentum after all we have been through with COVID. Flu is not just a cold, it can be devastating, even life threatening, especially for some people, and there is the potential for serious complications. vaccines are recommended for all Australians over the age of 6 months, and they are safe and effective. My profession, Nurse Practitioners, play a big role in immunisation in our community. So speak to your Nurse Practitioner, GP or Pharmacist about having a flu vaccine now, and be ready for this flu season." Leanne Boase ACNP President
