What’s the eligibility criteria for a fully covered flu vaccination and how do I find out if I’m eligible?
HBF members are eligible for a fully covered flu vaccination at participating providers* if they meet the following criteria:
- Aged 5 years and above
- Covered for Healthy Living Programs on their Extras cover
- Served the 2-month waiting period
You can find out if you’re eligible by checking your level of cover via the HBF App, online through myHBF, visiting your local branch or calling 133 423.
When is the flu season?
The Australian Government Department of Health recommends that the period of peak influenza circulation is typically June to September in most parts of Australia.
Is it okay to get both a flu vaccination and a COVID-19 vaccination?
The Australian Government Department of Health advises that COVID-19 vaccines can safely and effectively be given on the same day as flu vaccines. According to the advice, it is safe to get both vaccines, and there is no need to wait between getting a COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine.
Will HBF provide a benefit if I get a flu vaccination through my GP or a pharmacy other than Pharmacy 777 or PharmaSave Boulder Pharmacy?
No. In WA, HBF will only pay a benefit for a flu vaccination received at Pharmacy 777 and PharmaSave Boulder Pharmacy Kalgoorlie.
