Influenza activity at the national level has continued to increase with high levels of influenza activity likely to continue for the next few weeks. There has been almost two and a half times the number of laboratory confirmed notifications of influenza this year when compared with the same period last year.

Protecting others starts with us. Vaccination is the single most effective way of preventing and stopping the spread of flu. By being vaccinated we protect not only ourselves, but those around us—including patients and visitors, our colleagues, and our friends and family.
