Who should have the flu jab?
The flu vaccine is offered free of charge on the NHS to people who are at risk. This is to ensure they are protected against catching flu and developing serious complications.
You are eligible to receive a free flu jab if you:
- are 65 years of age or over (born on or before 31st March 1953)
- are pregnant (regardless of the stage of pregnancy you’ve reached)
- have certain long-term medical conditions :
- are living in a long-stay residential care home or other long-stay care facility
- Front-line health and social care workers are also eligible to receive the flu vaccine. It is your employer’s responsibility to arrange and pay for this vaccine.
