If you're sick with the flu, then you're not alone as cases are 100 times higher now than they were last year. #9Today

With cases of the flu surging, please join Isobel & get vaxxed.

While for many people flu can be mild, for some it can be deadly - including children under 5.

So visit your GP, pharmacist or community vax clinic, roll up you sleeve and protect yourself & your family this winter

The flu season has definitely hit. The best way to protect your kids is to get the flu vaccine. In the latest #RCHPoll 43% of parents are hesitant to vaccinate their kids against flu, with 70% not realising kids need to get the flu vaccine every year to stay protected.

Incredible colleagues across Melbourne in emergency services, at other health services & especially our phenomenal team at the Kids - thank you for your amazing skilled work late yesterday & over night. The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne
Also thinking of these children & their families-sending love.

Time to get your flu vaccine as cases are increasing and immunity is low, esp in kids - it’s FREE for kids 6 mo to 5 years and maternal vaccination protects babies under 6 months👇Also free for other high risk groups - please check ATAGI advice!

High levels of flu in Melbourne at the moment: “now is the best time to get your children vaccinated as cases will continue to climb over the winter” Looking forward to a time in the not-too-distant future when we can also vaccinate for RSV amp.smh.com.au/national/early… The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne

Very few women set out thinking “One day I will be the first female medical school Dean / the first female Governor.” Careers evolve organically. Support at key moments along the way makes an enormous difference. - @GunnJane #WCAL2023
