Protect who you love this flu season
Annual vaccination is an important measure to prevent influenza and its complications. Help protect yourself, your family and community with an appointment at your local Star Discount Chemist flu clinic.
Choose your convenient, local pharmacy. All vaccinations are administered by a trusted health professional in a private room.
We can accommodate your busy schedule, with many of our pharmacies operating seven days or open late. To avoid disappointment, we recommend making a quick booking online for your chosen timeslot and location. Some of our pharmacies do offer walk-in appointments.
We'll kindly ask you to remain onsite for 15 minutes following your appointment. Ask us about your eligibility for a free* vaccine.
Please speak to your pharmacist to find out more.

Why should I get the influenza vaccine?
Annual vaccination offers effective protection against influenza. While it does not offer 100% protection, vaccination does decrease your chance of getting influenza and also reduces the severity of the symptoms if you do catch the virus. Getting vaccinated also protects those around you, including pregnant women, babies and young children, older people and people with certain chronic health conditions.1,2)

Important things to remember this year with the Flu and COVID-19 vaccine
The flu shot does not protect against COVID‐19:
All COVID-19 vaccines can be co-administered (given on the same day) with an influenza vaccine. Studies show that co-administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines is safe and produces a good immune response.
What if my local store does not have online bookings?
We will advise you that your local store has vaccinations available and you can give them a call to either book or discuss their clinic times.
