Vaccination against pandemic (H1N1) influenza 2009

A vaccine for the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza is now available at no cost.

You may contact UTS: Health to book an appointment for a consultation. Please advise UTS Health Service that you are booking for an Influenza vaccine at the time of your call.

The Panvax H1N1 vaccine is made by CSL Limited which has been producing seasonal influenza vaccines over the last 40 years.

There is concern that pandemic influenza poses an increased risk of severe illness for certain groups of people. These groups include pregnant women, indigenous people and those with underlying chronic medical conditions. The Department of Health and Ageing strongly recommend that in addition to these groups of people, those who are severely obese, parents and guardians of children up to six months old, frontline health workers and community care workers should be vaccinated.
