Book your appointment for an Influenza Vaccine (and or covid vaccine at the same time - MAKE BOOKING NOTE of what vaccine eg covid and or flu when checking out) (Funded Flu vaccines are available from 1st April 2026).

Influenza is a serious viral infection that causes the death of many New Zealanders each year. Vaccination against seasonal influenza is available each year. Those most at risk of serious health complications from the flu are eligible for a free flu vaccine.

It is also important to get vaccinated if you are regularly around children, older people and pregnant women. Getting immunised against the flu also significantly reduces days off work and the number of doctors' visits each year.

The flu vaccine is free for the following people:

pregnant women (any trimester)
people aged 65 years and over
Māori and Pacific peoples aged 55 to 64 years (Removed by Ministry of Health/Health NZ for the 2025 flu season)
people under 65 years of age with with certain chronic conditions, such as chronic heart disease, chronic liver disease, diabetes, cancer, asthma and COPD. See the full list here.
children aged 4 years or under who have been in hospital for respiratory illness or have a history of significant respiratory illness, including children aged 6–59 months (under 5 years) who were hospitalised with measles. Please note, we DO NOT generally provide paediatric (12yrs and under) flu vaccines at the Cashmere Pharmacy Clinic. If you require a paediatric vaccine (12 years and under) please call us.
