Flu Vaccination for Every Employee – Pregnancy, Egg Allergy, Immunocompromise and Over-65s
Pregnancy, egg allergy, immunocompromise, employees aged 65 and over. Every one of them vaccinated by a Registered Nurse on the day, the same as everyone else.
Request a QuoteMost employees in a workplace clinic walk through in two minutes. The work is in the cohorts where the standard answer does not apply: pregnancy, employees aged 65 and over, egg allergy, immunocompromise. Every one of them is vaccinated by a Registered Nurse on the day, the same as everyone else.
Five cohorts worth knowing about before clinic day
Australian workplaces are not clinically homogenous. A wellbeing coordinator booking a flu program is also thinking about the employee who is pregnant, the team member who once carried an EpiPen for egg, the colleague on immunosuppressive therapy, the staff aged 65 and over, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees. The answer for all five is straightforward, and none of them needs a separate process.

01
Pregnant Employees
Recommended at any trimester
The Australian Immunisation Handbook recommends inactivated influenza vaccine for people who are pregnant, at any stage of pregnancy. Vaccinating during pregnancy also reduces the risk of severe influenza in the infant for the first 6 months of life, through transplacental transfer of antibodies. Your nurse vaccinates pregnant employees on the day, the same as everyone else.

02
Employees Aged 65 and Over
We point you to the vaccine that suits them best
The Australian Immunisation Handbook recommends an adjuvanted or high-dose influenza vaccine for people aged 65 and over. If that applies to someone on your team, we point them to their GP or pharmacist, where it is funded under the National Immunisation Program. If they would rather be vaccinated at the workplace clinic, they are welcome to. The adjuvanted vaccine is not one we carry, and the Handbook accepts standard-dose influenza vaccine where adjuvanted or high-dose is unavailable.
-
03
Employees With Egg Allergy
Egg allergy alone is not a contraindication
The Australian Immunisation Handbook position is clear: people with egg allergy, including a history of anaphylaxis to egg, can be safely vaccinated with any influenza vaccine, unless they have previously had a serious adverse reaction to an influenza vaccine itself. Your nurse asks about it, vaccinates as normal, and observes them afterwards as we do for everyone.
-
04
Immunocompromised Employees
Inactivated vaccine remains recommended
For people with immunocompromise, whether from a medical condition or from immunosuppressive treatment, inactivated influenza vaccine remains recommended in the Australian Immunisation Handbook. Immunocompromise is not a contraindication to the inactivated vaccine we bring. Your nurse vaccinates them on the day, the same as everyone else.
-
05
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Employees
Recommended every year
The Australian Immunisation Handbook recommends that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people receive influenza vaccine every year. Your nurse vaccinates them on the day, the same as everyone else. If someone would prefer to have their vaccine funded under the National Immunisation Program, their GP or pharmacist can arrange that.

What happens on clinic day
Cohort handling is not a separate process. Our programs are paperless: employees book through the flu booking link, receive SMS and email reminders before the day, and a senior nurse immuniser is available by phone or email to answer questions beforehand.
Your nurse works to the contraindications and precautions set out in the Australian Immunisation Handbook chapter on influenza. In practice, very little stops a healthy adult being vaccinated on the day.
If your nurse finds a reason someone should not be vaccinated that day — an active fever, or an unresolved reaction history — they are kindly referred to their GP rather than vaccinated under uncertainty. Anyone who misses the clinic altogether can still be covered through a pharmacy voucher, redeemable at partner pharmacies across Australia and New Zealand.

For the Handbook position on egg allergy and why it is no longer a contraindication, see flu vaccination with an egg allergy.
