There's been a sudden rise in flu cases and other respiratory infections around the country.
The latest figures show doctors consultation rate has almost doubled in the past month.
Spokesman for the National Influenza Strategy Group, Dr Lance Jennings, says it's not too late for eligible New Zealanders to protect themselves with a free flu vaccination.
The Government's subsidised season ends on July 31.
Dr Jennings says around a million people have already been vaccinated, but that still leaves many vulnerable people unprotected.
