Queensland Health wishes to advise all immunisation service providers (ISPs) that the pre-order period for influenza vaccines (including nasal spray vaccine) is from 9 February to 20 February 2026. 

This pre-order period is for rollout 1 and 2. To ensure adequate supply and delivery in rollout 1 and 2, all ISPs must submit their pre-order quantities by 20 February 2026 to receive delivery between 16 March to 17 April 2026. 

*Rollout delivery periods are dependent on stock availability in Queensland.
+Extended delivery timeframes due to the impact on delivery services due to public holidays.

How to order flu vaccine stock 

• Complete the 2026 Influenza Vaccine Order Form, which includes:

  • Rollout 1: Request your dose requirements for Fluad and FluMist.

  • Rollout 2: Request your dose requirements for Fluad, FluMist, and all under-65 influenza immunisations.

• Please complete and return the form to [email protected] by 20 February 2026 to secure your supply.

• ​​​​​For rollout 3, a separate order form will be emailed on 30 March 2026 if top up stock is required.

Important details when completing the 2026 Influenza Vaccine Order Form

Queensland Health requests immunisation service providers (ISPs) to:

• enter number of individual doses required (not pack quantities)

• complete all sections of the form.

The quantity of vaccines your service requests may be adjusted to maintain equitable distribution across Queensland services. Your service will be contacted via email if this occurs.

If for any reason your service needs to amend your order quantities, please email [email protected] by 20 February 2026.

Considerations when placing your order

• Review your 2025 uptake and client base (reduce quantities if excess stock was discarded last season).

• Calculate all doses required for influenza immunisation at your service, including outreach activities such as aged care facilities.

• Additional influenza immunisations cannot be ordered during the scheduled rollout periods.

•  After the 3 rollouts are complete, ISPs can re-order influenza immunisations in routine fortnightly orders.

• The pre-order form is not to be used to order private funded stock.

ISPs are responsible for:

• ordering sufficient doses to meet demand

• ensuring adequate cold chain storage capacity for all ordered doses

• submitting only 1 order per ISP.
