• Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander persons aged 6 months to less than 5 years or those over 15 years
• All people aged over 6 months who have certain medical conditions which increase the risk of influenza complications; for example, severe asthma, lung or heart disease, low immunity or diabetes
• All adults aged over 65 years
• Pregnant women (during any stage of pregnancy).
