Influenza $24.99
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a highly contagious viral infection. Flu symptoms include fever, a cough, sore throat, fatigue, muscle aches, headaches, runny nose and watery eyes. The symptoms may sound familiar, however the flu is not the same as a common cold.
Each year, the flu virus strains can change. The best protection against the flu is annual vaccination with a vaccine that targets the most recent and common circulating strains. If you are immunised, you are less likely to catch the flu, reduce the severity of flu symptoms, and prevent passing it on to those close to you.
Flu protection from the vaccine takes up to two weeks to develop and it is best to get vaccinated before the flu begins spreading seasonally.
Whooping Cough $44.99
It’s easy to think of whooping cough (pertussis) as a disease that only affects children and babies. But whooping cough in adults is more common than you might think. In 2016, over 20,000 Australians caught whooping cough and over 8,499 of these people were adults.
Many Australians have been vaccinated as a child, infant or adolescent. However, vaccinations received in childhood do not provide adequate protection against the disease in adult years. This is because immunity after vaccination diminishes over time, therefore leaving people at a greater risk of catching the disease.
Measles $39.99
Measles is an acute, highly infectious illness caused by the measles virus. Measles can cause serious complications such as pneumonia (lung infection) and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). It may also cause middle ear infections.
Protection against measles is given through a combined MMR vaccine. Two doses are needed to provide a high level of protection. The measles (MMR) vaccine is highly recommended for all adults that haven’t already had two doses of the vaccine previously. It is also highly recommended for healthcare workers and for people who work with children.
