Our annual Flu clinics will be running on Saturday 5th October and Saturday 2nd November 2024.
Eligible patients will be invited in the next few weeks. We will be offering COVID vaccines to those eligible patients at our flu Saturday clinics ONLY. Outside of these dates patients will have to use the COVID Vaccine National Booking System to find a suitable appointment.
As is usual, we will continue to offer flu vaccine appointments at various times of the week throughout the Autumn.
Who is eligible for the Flu vaccine?
The flu vaccine is recommended for people at higher risk of getting seriously ill from flu. It’s offered on the NHS every year in autumn or early winter.
You can get the free NHS flu vaccine if you:
- Are aged 65 or over
- 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
- Front line health and social care workers can also get a flu vaccine through their employer
Who is eligible for the COVID vaccine this autumn?
- Adults aged 65 years and over
- Residents in a care home for older adults
- Individuals aged 6 months to 64 years who have certain long-tern health conditions
- Front line NHS and social care workers, and those working in care homes for older people
The vaccine should usually be offered no earlier than around 6 months after the last vaccine dose. If you are eligible, you can get protection from an autumn COVID-19 vaccination even if you have not taken up a COVID-19 vaccine offer in the past.
