Can my workplace force me to get an influenza vaccination?

More influenza vaccines than ever are being distributed in Australia this year to help protect the community against the flu. While getting a flu shot doesn't protect against COVID-19, contracting the two together would be a 'very dangerous double-up', health minister Greg Hunt has said. There are 16.5 million influenza vaccines to be distributed among Australians, which equates to about two-thirds of the population. 'Vaccinated people of all ages are less likely to get the flu and if they do, are less likely to have a severe case,' professor Barr said.
