Important Information: Influenza (flu) Vaccination for all UniSA Staff in 2023
Protect yourself and your community this flu season
As part of our ongoing commitment to help improve the health and wellbeing of our staff, the University’s Wellbeing program in conjunction with UniSA Health and BUPA provide flu clinics during April/May to all staff (including casual staff).
The scheduled free flu clinics have now finished but if you would like to book a an appointment at the UniSA Medical Clnic, please call 1300 172 996.
People aged 65 and over are recommended by SA Health to receive a high-dose seasonal influenza vaccine (Fluad Quad). The Fluad Quad doses are allocated by the government direct to the person’s GP and as such, staff 65 years or over are encouraged to book your free flu vaccination with your regular GP who can provide all information relating to Fluad Quad and your allocated dose.
More information on the Influenza (flu) vaccination is available on the SA Health website.
