Annual Influenza and influenza Immunisation Training for GPs and Nurses

Tuesday 28 March 2023

Viewers will be presented with an outline of influenza strain coverage and vaccines used for the 2023 program, brief review of the epidemiology of influenza infection, rationale for promoting vaccination amongst high-risk groups, and an outline of vulnerable cohorts for whom antiviral use may be appropriate in the community.

  • Summarise the epidemiology of influenza infection
  • Classify “high-risk” patient groups and outline the rationale for promoting flu vaccination, including children aged 6mths to <5years
