Autumn is a good time to have your flu vaccine, before flu rates increase.
So, who can get the free flu vaccine? You can get the jab if you:
- are aged 65 or over (including those who will be 65 by 31 March 2025)
- have certain long-term health conditions
- are pregnant
- live in a care home
- are the main carer for an older or disabled person, or receive a carer’s allowance
- live with someone who has a weakened immune system
- if you are a frontline health or social care worker
A bit of myth busting about the flu vaccine:
- you don’t need to wait for an invitation to get vaccinated
- you don’t need to be registered with a GP or have an NHS number to get a vaccine
- no immigration checks are carried out when you receive the vaccine
