Flu vaccination

Protect yourself this winter. Get your free NHS flu vaccine if you are eligible, or book a private flu jab with us.

Flu can be serious, especially for older people and those with long-term health conditions. The flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and the people around you, and it only takes a few minutes.

Free NHS flu vaccine

You may be eligible for a free NHS flu vaccine if, for example, you are aged 65 or over, have certain long-term health conditions, are pregnant, are a carer, or live with someone who has a weakened immune system. Eligibility can change each season, so please ask us.

Private flu vaccine

If you are not eligible for a free NHS vaccine, you can have a private flu vaccination with us for a small fee.
