Make a date for your winter vaccine
These viruses can have a serious impact on people’s health, which can lead to time in hospital and even death. If you’re eligible, getting your vaccine will help protect you and those around you over the winter months.
From this month onwards, the NHS will be contacting people who are eligible for these vaccinations to come forward for them.
Those most at risk, including adult care home residents, will be the first priority. Other groups eligible for both flu and Covid-19 vaccines include those aged 65+, people with lower immunity, and those in their household.
People who are pregnant are also strongly encouraged to book their flu jab. This will help protect you and your baby and can be done at any stage of pregnancy.
Children aged 2 – 17 will be offered the flu nasal spray or vaccine, and those in school will have the option to have it during their school day.
If you are contacted by the NHS to have your Covid-19 and flu vaccination, please come forward to have them. For more details, FAQs and eligibility information click below.
