Message to patients

If you are aged between 50 and 64 you will be invited to get your free flu vaccine from the beginning of December and into the new year as part of this year's expanded flu vaccination programme.

GPs and pharmacies will be arranging appointments to coincide with delivery of new vaccine stock. Please be patient as they make plans for this and wait to be contacted. Please remember that vaccinations will continue throughout the winter season.

If you are in an at-risk group, you remain a priority for vaccination and should contact your GP or pharmacy as soon as possible for your free flu vaccine.

Your GP practice and the pharmacies in your area will have a range of measures in place to keep you safe from COVID-19. Visit nhs.uk/flujab to find out more
