自由党将提供免费流感疫苗

流感可能成为致命的死神，每年都有数以千计的维州人民因感染流行感冒而痛苦，其中最不幸的是有些老人或孩童更因流感丢了性命。

每个抵抗力较弱的人都应注射流感疫苗以防万一，然则许多父母由于担忧价格高昂或对疫苗本身的不确定导致没接受疫苗注射。

维州自由党联盟宣佈，如果明年维州大选中胜出，政府将为维州 6 个月至 5 岁之间，有意愿施打疫苗的孩童提供免费的流感疫苗。

这不但可使父母较易为孩童安排流感疫苗注射，更可让家长了解为孩童施打流感疫苗不但广为专家所推荐，且疫苗本身对孩童也是安全可行。

Liberals to provide free flu injections

Influenza can be a deadly disease. Thousands of Victorians suffer from the flu every year, and tragically, flu takes the lives of many elderly people as well as young children.

Everyone who is vulnerable should consider obtaining a flu injection each year. Unfortunately, many parents do not have their children vaccinated because of the cost or because of concerns about the vaccine.

The Victorian Liberal Nationals Coalition has announced that they will provide free voluntary flu injections for all Victorian children aged between six months and five years old, if elected at next year’s state election.

This will make it easier for parents to have their young children vaccinated, and help parents to know that flu vaccinations for children are safe and are recommended.
