No. Your voucher covers your standard flu shot, and a shot at your workplace clinic costs you nothing extra.

## Using your voucher

- The voucher covers the standard flu vaccine. If you ask for a different vaccine it doesn't cover, such as a cell-based one, the pharmacy may charge you the difference.
- You don't need a Medicare card to use a voucher. Bring it if you have one.
- The voucher has no cash value. You can't exchange it for money or use it to pay for anything else.

## If you're eligible for a government-funded vaccine

Some people can get a flu vaccine that is government-funded under the National Immunisation Program (NIP). If that's you, the voucher doesn't apply and pharmacies must not use it. You get the government-funded vaccine instead, and you can choose a GP or a pharmacy.

Some GPs and pharmacies charge a consultation or service fee, so ask when you book. To check, see [who is eligible on health.gov.au](https://www.health.gov.au/topics/immunisation/vaccines/influenza-flu-vaccine).

65 or over? See [I'm 65 or over: which flu shot should I have?](/hc/flusmart/articles/im-65-or-over-which-flu-shot-should-i-have)

In New Zealand, check whether you can get a funded flu vaccine on [Pharmac's flu page](https://www.pharmac.govt.nz/medicine-funding-and-supply/what-you-need-to-know-about-medicines/vaccines/flu-season).

## State programs

Some states, such as Queensland and Western Australia, have run government-funded flu programs in past seasons. While one covers you, your voucher doesn't apply.
