The flu vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine. It’s offered every year to help protect you from flu and its complications.

Flu vaccine and COVID-19 (coronavirus)

Flu vaccination is important because:

• if you’re at higher risk from coronavirus, you’re also more at risk of problems from flu
• if you get flu and coronavirus at the same time, research shows you’re more likely to be seriously ill
• it’ll help to reduce pressure on the NHS and social care staff who may be dealing with coronavirus
• If you’ve had COVID-19, it’s safe to have the flu vaccine. It’ll be effective at helping to prevent flu.

For further information please visit the NHS website.

Due to COVID-19, we will be running our clinics differently this year. More information will be provided to patients at the time of booking.

We are inviting our high risk patients first to book their flu vaccine as soon as possible.

You can do this via our online services or call the practice to book your appointment.
