Campaspe Shire Council is now encouraging community members to book in for their flu vaccination through their local doctor, pharmacy, or at one of Council's immunisation sessions.
Council's Director Communities, Jo Bradshaw said getting vaccinated against the flu is a vital method of protection this winter.
"Annual vaccination protects you, your family, and the community and helps reduce the risk of severe illnesses and flu related complications," Ms Bradshaw said.
Flu vaccinations are free children 6 months to 5 years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (6 months and older), pregnant women, people aged 65+ and those with medical conditions that put them at increased risk of the flu.
The cost for all other community members not eligible for the free vaccine is $30, which can be paid for on the day via EFTPOS.
