Flu vaccination

During winter, it's important to have your flu vaccination to help protect you and those around you from serious illness.

  • are a social care worker, carer or healthcare staff
  • are pregnant
  • are aged 6 months to 64-years-old with clinical risks
  • are immunosupressed
  • have close contact with someone who is immunosupressed

If you're not eligible for the NHS flu vaccine but still want to protect yourself against flu, many pharmacies provide a bookable flu vaccine service.
