Fire & Emergency New Zealand 2022 Flu Vaccinations

Free flu vaccinations are now available for all people at Fire & Emergency New Zealand.

Around one in four New Zealanders are infected with the flu each year. While it's optional, getting the flu vaccination means you can better protect yourself, colleagues and loved ones from getting sick with flu.

As our international border reopens, flu will again be entering the country from overseas. Getting the flu vaccination will reduce your chances of getting sick, and help reduce the pressure on our health system.
