Flu Vaccinations
The flu vaccine helps protect against flu, which can be a serious or life-threatening illness. It’s offered on the NHS every year in autumn or early winter to people at higher risk of getting seriously ill from flu.
Who should have the flu vaccine
The flu vaccine is recommended for people at higher risk of getting seriously ill from flu.
You can get the free NHS flu vaccine if you:
- are aged 65 or over (including those who will be 65 by 31 March 2026)
- have certain long-term health conditions
- are pregnant
- live in a care home
- are the main carer for an older or disabled person, or receive a carer’s allowance
- live with someone who has a weakened immune system
How to get your flu vaccine
This year as usual we are offering booked appointments and walk in vaccinations on a variety of days in venues across our area. If you are eligible for the flu vaccine we will send you a text message or letter to invite you to book or attend a walk in-session.
If you cannot make the times below you can book an appointment with a nurse to have the vaccination at any other time, you do not have to attend one of the designated days.
