The government is widening access to funded influenza vaccines for some people living with serious mental illness and addiction challenges.

This means anyone living with schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder or anyone currently accessing secondary or tertiary mental health and addiction services, can now get a free flu jab - this year, and in future seasons too.

Want to get your free flu jab? Walk-in vaccination options can be found via health.govt.nz/flu and you can get a flu jab from your doctor or usual healthcare provider, and at most pharmacies.

We were disappointed to read the column by @DrShaneRetiMP published in @nzherald and @northernadvocat today. Our response is in the letter attached, but we know that isn't accessible for everyone, so it's also in the thread below.

"When I quit drinking, I thought I was an aging party girl who had lost control of her habit. I did not realise that, actually, I was an emotion-avoider that had spent her whole life trying not to feel, particularly to feel sad." clearheaddrinks.co.nz/blogs/…
