Flu Vaccinations

Getting vaccinated against the flu is an essential aspect of maintaining good health and safeguarding yourself against the flu virus. Anyone over the age of 50 is eligible for the flu vaccine, and you can book an appointment by contacting us.

The vaccine is a safe and effective way to protect against the flu virus and can help to reduce the risk of severe complications like pneumonia. We highly recommend it for individuals with certain medical conditions, pregnant women, and those who work in healthcare settings.

The vaccine is available at no cost from the NHS for those over 50 or considered to be in an “at-risk” group. You are considered “at-risk” if you are over 50, pregnant, have a long-term health condition (such as diabetes, COPD, or chronic heart disease), have a learning disability, or are the main carer for someone at risk of Covid-19 or whose welfare could be jeopardized if you fall ill.

The vaccine is a quick and relatively painless procedure that can be administered by a doctor or nurse. It is important to note that while the flu vaccination does not guarantee protection from the virus, it can reduce the risk of catching it and minimize the severity of any symptoms.
