Pharmacists report vast numbers of people getting their flu shots early this season after the public is urged to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Monday would have been Ray Daniels's 74th birthday. But instead of celebrating, his Perth family are mourning their husband and father. "Our belief is probably that there is going to be a lot of stock tied up in medical practices that's not being released to community pharmacies — so that means there's people missing out on doses at the moment," he said.
