It's time to order your Influenza doses for 2024
Early 2023 Flu Season
In 2023, Australia experienced an unusually early onset of influenza, as the flu season commenced in March and reached its peak during May-June. This early flu season serves as a reminder to take proactive measures and place your orders promptly.
Being a prominent vaccine provider in Australia, we foresaw a surge in demand. As a result, we took strategic steps to procure ample stock, guaranteeing that our valued customers would not face shortages.
How to avoid shortages
Production and planning of influenza vaccines is a year-round process. Having your doses locked in early allows us (and our suppliers) to forecast accurately, therefore limiting shortages.
Let's build a healthier tomorrow - with each proactive step we take.

Happy Team Medical Customer
Our commitment to providing excellent service is never more evident than during flu season where our entire team kicks into overdrive. below is what one our customers had to say about our influenza partnership.
"The service that comes with your Influenza program is exceptional. We know there are many other customers, but we feel like we’re at the top of the list. We’ve never had a cold chain issue, but I know if we had, you would replace what’s needed and afterwards, we would work out the behind-the-scenes stuff. If we don’t have what we need, we can’t support our patients."
