Monash Council Flu Vaccination Sessions

Monash Immunisation is using a new centralised booking platform, Central Immunisation Records Victoria (CIRV), provided by the Victorian Department of Health.

To book a flu vaccination session, you will need to log into your CIRV account or create a new account if you haven't used the CIRV platform before.

Eligibility

Free seasonal influenza vaccine is funded under the National Immunisation Program (NIP) for the following groups at higher risk of complications from influenza:

• people aged six months to less than five years (can be given at the same time as childhood vaccines)
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged six months and older
• pregnant women (can be given at any stage of each pregnancy)
• people aged 65 years and older (a vaccine that is specifically designed to produce a higher immune response is available for this group).
• people aged six months and older with medical conditions putting them at increased risk of severe influenza and its complications.

More information: Seasonal Influenza Vaccine at the Department of Health
