EXPERTS URGE VACCINATION VIGILANCE
AS winter takes hold health officials are urging everyone to ensure they are up to date with their influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations. The latest respiratory surveillance report highlights the high levels of COVID-19 transmission and the rapid increase in influenza activity. Health Minister Ryan Park emphasized that vaccination is the best defense against severe illness, protecting individuals, their families, and the community. NSW Chief Health Officer Dr. Kerry Chant emphasized the importance of continuing preventive measures such as wearing masks indoors, staying home when unwell, and practicing good hand hygiene. Certain groups, including children aged six months to under five years, individuals aged 65 and over, pregnant women, and those with serious health conditions, are eligible for free influenza vaccines. Recommendations for protecting against COVID-19 and influenza include staying up to date with vaccinations, staying home when experiencing symptoms, wearing masks in crowded indoor places, practicing hand hygiene, and considering rapid antigen tests before visiting high-risk individuals. Free rapid antigen tests are now available through local councils, ServiceNSW, and NSW Health services.
