"The flu has killed more than 220 people and infected more than 140,000 across Australia this year, with authorities warning the peak of the flu season is yet to come."
Flu shots are not mandatory in Australia, but they're free to many and heavily subsidized for everyone else, I pay full price and it was $20.
The number so far of those infected "144,159 laboratory confirmed notifications" Only shows those who went to a doctor for treatment, and the doctor sent off for a test, so you can presume the actual number is 2x - 4x that amount.
This coming Flu season I highly advise all those in the Northern Hemisphere to go get a flu shot.
