The 2023 influenza season is expected to start early and be more severe than the last few years. It’s important for front line immunisers to be updated with the latest information, public health advice and practical strategies for this year’s season. Influenza causes a large burden of disease in Australia with sick days, hospitalisation and death. Vaccination is readily available and updated yearly to include the most recent strains. It is widely recommended across the community, but especially for the most vulnerable including the very young, old, Indigenous Australians, and people with underlying comorbidities.
