The National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) has released its final influenza vaccination coverage data for 2025.
The data shows that influenza uptake is suboptimal across all age cohorts.
- The 50-to-64-years and 65-years-and-older groups had the lowest vaccination rates in six years.
- The 6-months-to-4-years group had the lowest rates since 2021.
- The 15-to-49-years and 5-to-14 years groups both recorded slightly higher rates than 2024, but lower than previous years.
2025 influenza vaccine coverage data is available via the NCIRS website.
