Seasonal Flu Vaccine and young children

Due to a spike in the numbers of young children in Western Australia experiencing fever and convulsions following seasonal flu vaccinations, Australia's Chief Medical Officer, Professor Jim Bishop, is advising all GPs and immunisation providers to stop giving seasonal flu vaccine to children five years and under until a cause is established.

For more information please see the Department of Health and Ageing media release, Seasonal Flu Vaccine and young children.
