Remembering how dreadful it was often gives us the motivation to try to protect ourselves from going through it again. However, despite knowing the risks, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners has reported a steady decline in the number of people aged over 65 getting the flu vaccination each year, leading to an increase in presentations to doctors and hospitals for older people with flu-like symptoms. They reported that 2025 had the highest number of flu cases on record! Older people living with heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, or a chronic lung condition such as asthma, are at higher risk of complications associated with the flu. The flu is very contagious and spreads through droplets from your nose and throat, especially by coughing or sneezing. Symptoms may include fever and chills, cough, sore throat, sneezing and stuffy or runny nose, tiredness, headache, muscle aches and joint pains. Most people will get better without medical treatment and by getting plenty of rest, staying well hydrated and keeping warm. According to the Australian Government’s Health Direct website, the most effective way to prevent influenza is to receive a flu vaccination annually, and it is available for free for people aged over 65. If you need assistance and have the appropriate service approvals, you can use your ongoing quarterly budget to help you get to and from medical appointments, either with a support worker to escort you, a volunteer driver, or we can supply you with a CabCharge voucher to use at your convenience.
