💨 Needle-Free Flu Protection for Kids – Coming Soon
Influenza can be serious for children.
Last year in WA:
• 25% of flu cases were in children aged 2–11
• 17,000+ children visited emergency departments with respiratory illness
• More than 1,300 required hospital admission
Despite this, only around 17% of children in this age group are vaccinated against influenza.
To help improve protection, the WA Government is investing $7.24 million to deliver 130,000 free doses of FluMist — a needle-free nasal spray flu vaccine that protects against influenza A and B, the viruses responsible for seasonal flu.
✔ No needles
✔ Quick nasal spray
✔ Ideal for children with needle phobia
We are excited to help deliver this program here in Williams.
The free FluMist program will run from mid-April until 31 July 2026.
