Flu Autumn Vaccination Campaign

Seasonal flu is a highly infectious illness that’s caused by a flu virus. The virus infects your lungs and upper airways, and can cause a high temperature, aches and pains. A flu vaccination can help limit your risk of getting the flu.

Our surgery offers flu vaccinations to patients. We offer two routine vaccinations – one for patients under 65 years and another vaccine for patients over 65 years.

Who should have the flu vaccine

You can get the NHS flu vaccine if you:

• are aged 65 or over (including those who will be 65 by 31 March 2025)
• have certain health conditions
• are pregnant
• live in a care home for older adults

Other care home residents, carers and people who live with someone who has a weakened immune system can get the flu vaccine.

Children aged 2 or 3 years and school-aged children (Reception to Year 11 with certain health conditions) can get the children's flu vaccine.

Frontline health and social care workers can also get flu vaccines.

You can contact the surgery to find out more about flu vaccinations or visit the NHS website.
