If you are the main carer for an elderly or disabled person, or you’re receiving a Carer's Allowance, you are eligible for a free flu vaccine. If this applies to you, speak to your GP or local pharmacist about getting your flu vaccine.
The flu vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine. It’s offered every year on the NHS to help protect people at risk of flu and its complications.
During the pandemic, changes have been made to make sure it’s safe for you to have the flu vaccine at GP surgeries and pharmacies. These changes include social distancing, hand washing and wearing protective equipment. It’s important to go to your appointments unless you or someone you live with has symptoms of coronavirus.
