Book your free NHS flu jab

Please note that people in the 50 to 64-year-old age group will not be vaccinated until November and December, providing there is sufficient vaccine, and no appointments will be offered for this age group until then. This is to ensure that those who are most at risk are vaccinated first. If you are 50 to 64 and you are in one of the other groups which is eligible for the flu vaccination, for example you have a health condition which puts you at risk from flu, you will be invited earlier.

Its been a tough few months but before we know it flu season will be upon us again.

If you are in a high risk category, you still need to make sure you are protected from seasonal flu.

Patients in the high risk categories will once again be eligible to get their FREE flu vaccine at their practice from early September 2020 to protect them from seasonal flu.

High risk categories include:

• Adults 65 and over
• People with certain medical conditions (including children un at-risk groups from 6 months of age)
• Pregnant women
• People living with someone who’s at hight risk from coronavirus (on the NHS shielded patient list)
• Children aged 2 and 3 on 31 August 2020
• Children in primary school
• Children in year 7 (secondary school)
• Frontline health or social care workers
