Why you should still get the flu vaccine

The young, the old and those with underlying medical conditions are most prone to flu danger.

Australian medical experts say it is still not too late to get the flu vaccine as concerns rise over a death toll attributed to the illness.

More than 220 Australians have died from the flu this year. On Thursday, Victorian health authorities announced that 43-year-old James Day, from Traralgon, had died after a week in hospital from flu complications.
