FAQs on COVID 19 Vaccines

Why are multi-dose vials being used to store COVID-19 vaccines?

  • Multi-dose vials contain more than one dose of a vaccine in a single glass vial. They usually include 5–20 doses per vial, and each dose is then carefully extracted and given via individual syringes for injection. Use of multi-dose vials is the most efficient way to distribute a new vaccine to the maximum number of people and is being used world-wide for all COVID-19 vaccines. 
  • Packaging vaccine doses multi-dose vials is safe and is supported by numerous quality controls and good handling practices. 
  • Multi-dose vials are routinely used in Australia for the tuberculosis (BCG) vaccine and were used for the 2009 pandemic influenza vaccine. Immunisation providers are trained in and follow guidelines specifically on the use of multi-dose vials.

Could my child get influenza from the vaccine?

I’ve heard influenza vaccines can have serious side effects. Is this true?

Does my child really need an influenza vaccine every year?

Children six months or older need to get an influenza vaccine every year. This is because the types of influenza viruses circulating often change from year to year. Also, protection from an influenza vaccine generally lasts less than a year. The best time to get an influenza vaccine is in April or May, before the influenza season, which is usually June to September. Your child can get an influenza vaccine at the same time as other vaccines.

How can we be sure the vaccine is safe?
