Flu Vaccine

It reduces the risk of severe illness, hospitalisation, and complications, especially in vulnerable groups.

 In the UK, it is offered free on the NHS to children aged 2 to 16, adults over 65, pregnant women, carers, and people with certain long-term health conditions. Please contact the surgery if you think you are eligible and would like this vaccine.

Some common myths are incorrect: the flu vaccine does not give you flu, it does not weaken your immune system, and it is safe for pregnant women. 

By getting vaccinated each year, you help protect both yourself and your community.
