"The 2023 flu season may be one of Australia’s largest flu seasons on record,
and doctors are concerned about the impact on children.
You may have seen headlines warning parents about “kindy flu”. These can be
misleading. This year’s flu virus does not “target” children. But during the
2023 flu season, children are particularly vulnerable for one important reason
– low vaccination rates.
We are concerned that fewer children have received their annual flu vaccine in
2023, compared to previous years. And it leaves them, and the wider community,
at risk of flu and its complications."
