    Vaccine strains 2025

    Annual influenza vaccination is the best way to protect against severe disease and complications from influenza. The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) recommends influenza vaccination for all people aged 6 months and over.

    The vaccine can change from year to year as new strains of influenza appear, which is why it is important to schedule influenza vaccination annually to ensure you are protected.

    The 2025 seasonal influenza vaccines for the southern hemisphere include the following strains:

    Egg-based influenza vaccines

    • an A/Victoria/4897/2022 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus.
    • an A/Croatia/10136RV/2023 (H3N2)-like virus; and
    • a B/Austria/1359417/2021 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus.
    • a B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata lineage)-like virus.

    Cell-based or quadrivalent influenza vaccines

    • an A/Wisconsin/67/2022 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus.
    • an A//District of Columbia/27/2023 (H3N2)-like virus; and
    • a B/Austria/1359417/2021 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus.
    • a B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata lineage)-like virus.

    Note: In 2025, all NIP-funded influenza vaccines available are quadrivalent vaccines (QIV) including the adjuvanted (enhanced) influenza vaccine for adults aged 65 years and older. Further information about influenza vaccines can be found at the Therapeutic Goods Administration website.

    Private vaccination

    If you have received a your 2025 influenza vaccination privately (e.g. GP clinic or community pharmacy), please let us know for planning purposes:

    Timing for vaccination

    Annual vaccination should ideally occur before the onset of each influenza season. Vaccinating from April provides protection before the peak. While protection is generally expected to last for the whole season, the best protection against influenza occurs within the first 3 to 4 months following vaccination.

    Note:

    • If a person had a 2024 formulation of the influenza vaccine in late 2024 or early 2025, they are still recommended to receive recommend a 2025 formulation influenza vaccine when they become available
    • The vaccine is not immediately effective, and it generally takes 10 to 14 days to be protected.
    • People can receive influenza vaccines at the same time as most other vaccines, including dTpa, RSV, pneumococcal and COVID-19 vaccines. Refer to the Australian Immunisation Handbook for more information.
    • Influenza vaccination during pregnancy and for international travellers can be of benefit at any time of year.
    • Further information about 2025 Influenza vaccination guidelines can be found on the Queensland Health website
