Protect yourself and others against flu and COVID-19 this winter
Vaccine list: The table above shows who is eligible for the winter vaccinations this year.
It’s that time of year again to get your COVID-19 and flu vaccinations. The national booking system is now open for those eligible, and walk-in vaccination sites have opened up across North West London.
West London GP and vaccine lead Andrew Steeden explains:
“During the colder months, flu and COVID-19 spread more easily as we spend more time indoors. These viruses are unpleasant, but for some, particularly those with certain health conditions, older people and pregnant women, they can be very dangerous and even life-threatening, which is why it is so important to have these vaccinations.”
The NHS will invite people to book-in, but if you are eligible and you have not been contacted yet for the free vaccinations (see table above) there are several ways you can get vaccinated ahead of winter.
To book:
- Use the NHS app
- Access the online booking system
- If you can’t get online, call 119.
To get vaccinated without an appointment:
- Find a North West London drop-in centre for COVID-19 vaccinations here
- For flu, find a pharmacy near you offering the service.
