If you’re aged 65 years old or over, influenza immunisation is very important. As you age your immune system doesn’t work as well as it used to so getting the flu can have more serious consequences like making existing medical conditions worse and there’s an increased chance you’ll need to be hospitalised.

You may also be aware that the effectiveness of the flu vaccine decreases as you get older. FLUAD Quad is designed to offer greater protection against the flu for people aged 65 years and over compared with standard influenza vaccines.
