Book Your Flu Vaccine
It’s important to get your winter flu vaccination if you’re eligible. Getting vaccinated every year will top up your protection and reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms.
You can get 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
- are a frontline health or social care worker
- 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 also get the flu vaccine.
- contact your GP surgery to book an appointment
Children aged 2 and 3 years old can get the children’s flu vaccine at their GP surgery. School-aged children will get their vaccine through their school or a community clinic.
Who’s most at risk from cold weather?
Some people are more vulnerable to the effects of cold weather. This includes:
- people aged 65 and older
- babies and children under the age of 5
- people on a low income (so cannot afford heating)
- people who have a long-term health condition
- people with a disability
- pregnant women
- people who have a mental health condition
