As of 20 July 2026, NSW Health has exhausted its available stock of Vaxgrip vaccine, which is funded for people aged 6 months to less than 5 years under the National Immunisation Program (NIP).
NSW Health has arranged for a special one-off licence to permit the sharing of NIP-funded Vaxigrip vaccine between GPs, pharmacists, Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS) and NSW health facilities.
Providers holding NIP-funded Vaxigrip stock who do not anticipate using this stock during the current flu season are encouraged to contact other local providers to explore arrangements for transferring the vaccines, where the alternate provider is willing to accept and administer the stock.
All vaccine transfers between providers must be compliant with the cold chain requirements outlined in the National Vaccine Storage Guidelines ‘Strive for 5’ when storing and transporting influenza vaccines.
