Flu vaccine
Adult flu vaccinations can be booked now through your GP practice or pharmacy, or at some maternity services if you’re pregnant.
If you’re eligible, book your winter vaccines as soon as you can.
We encourage everyone who is eligible to book your winter vaccines as soon as possible, and to get both vaccines in the same appointment for protection against both viruses in just a few minutes.
Getting vaccinated will help to protect you and the people around you this winter, as well as supporting the NHS during busy winter months.
Find out more about both vaccines and how to book.
Flu vaccines for kids
The flu vaccine is being offered to most children including all 2 and 3 year olds, school aged children from reception to year 11, and children with underlying health conditions.
The children’s flu vaccine is usually given as a quick and painless spray up the nose.
Children under 5 have one of the highest hospitalisation rates for flu. Last year, more than 6,000 under-5s in England were hospitalised by flu, and many more needed care in accident and emergency. The vaccine reduces a child’s chance of needing hospital care for flu by around two-thirds.
School-aged children will get their flu vaccine through schools and community venues and those aged 2 to 3 years old or with certain health conditions can get the flu vaccine at their GP practice.
Having your child vaccinated protects others around them, including babies, grandparents and people with weak immune systems, and allows NHS services to be available for the people who need them most over the winter months.
