Why Now is the Time to Get Your Flu Jab at Victoria Point Pharmacy
As the weather starts to cool and we head into flu season, there’s one simple step you can take to protect yourself - and the people around you: your annual flu vaccination.
At Victoria Point Pharmacy, we’re here to make it easy, convenient, and stress-free.
Flu season is closer than you think
Many people wait until they start hearing about cases in the community - but by then, the flu is already spreading. Influenza is highly contagious, and even healthy people can become quite unwell.
Getting your flu jab early helps your body build protection before the peak season hits - so you’re not caught off guard.
It’s not just about you
One of the most important reasons to get vaccinated is to protect others.
You might bounce back quickly from the flu - but for young children, older adults, pregnant women, and those with underlying health conditions, it can be much more serious.
By getting your flu shot, you’re helping reduce the spread in our local Victoria Point community and protecting those who are more vulnerable.

Common questions we hear
“Can the flu shot give me the flu?”
No - it’s not a live virus, so it can’t give you the flu.
“Do I really need one every year?”
Yes. Flu strains change each year, and immunity reduces over time - so an annual vaccination is the best protection.
“I’m healthy - do I still need it?”
Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu - and can pass it on before they realise they’re unwell.
Protect your winter
A flu jab is a small step that can make a big difference - helping you stay well, keep working, support your family, and enjoy the season ahead.
If you’ve been meaning to get around to it, consider this your reminder 😊
