NHS Flu vaccination

The FREE NHS Flu vaccination is available to all individuals aged 65 and over and to anyone over 18 years who falls into a specific health category. All eligible individuals can access the flu vaccine regardless of their GP surgery or the pharmacy they normally use.

You can book a flu vaccination appointment using our booking system at the bottom of this page. Scheduling your appointment helps us manage the flu vaccination process alongside our regular pharmacy services.

Who Is Eligible for the Free NHS Flu Vaccine?

The free NHS flu vaccine is available to:

  • Anyone aged 65 and over
  • Adults aged 18-64 with specific health conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, chronic heart or kidney disease
  • Pregnant individuals
  • Residents of long-stay residential care
  • Those receiving carer’s allowance or acting as the primary carer for an older or disabled person who may be at greater risk

Unlike in previous years, the free NHS flu vaccination service is not available to those aged 50-64 who are healthy and not part of the above risk groups. However, they can still opt for a private flu vaccination. Eligibility changes each year as per JCVI recommendations.
