Australia is facing a severe flu season, with cases quadrupling compared to previous years. Despite this alarming trend, fewer people are getting vaccinated. In a recent interview, Professor Katherine Bennett explains why this is happening and what it means for public health.
The Flu Vaccine Dilemma
According to Professor Bennett, the pandemic has disrupted usual health practices, leading to vaccine fatigue and complacency. As flu cases continue to rise, the importance of getting vaccinated cannot be overstated, especially for vulnerable populations.
