Free Flu and Covid Vaccinations for over 18's

Decorative

Flu and COVID-19 spread more easily in winter when we spend more time together indoors and can cause serious illness.

Respiratory viruses, such as flu, usually reach their peak over the festive and new year period. Nobody wants to miss out on the festive celebrations with their friends and family this winter and the vaccines provide the best possible protection.

It is important to top up your protection, even if you have had a vaccine or been ill with flu or COVID-19 before, as immunity fades over time and these viruses change each year.

If you are vaccinated and catch flu or COVID-19 this winter, you are likely to have milder symptoms and recover faster, cutting your risk of being hospitalised.

The winter vaccine programme will continue to focus on those at greatest risk of getting seriously ill.

Those eligible for both a flu and COVID-19 vaccine include:

  • people with certain long term health conditions
  • people aged 65 and over
  • pregnant women
