Vaccinations

Seasonal Flu Vaccination

Getting a flu vaccine is more important than ever due to the likelihood that flu and Covid-19 will both be in circulation. You will be contacted by your GP and/or workplace if you are eligible for a flu vaccine during the 2023/24 winter season.

GPs and pharmacies still have appropriate infection control practices in place to make it safer for vulnerable people to come and get vaccinated.

You can find more information on the seasonal flu vaccination page
