COVID-19 and FLU Vaccinations
The coronavirus (COVID-19) and Influenza (FLU) vaccines are safe and effective and give you the best protection against these viruses.
Levels of protection may decline over time. Booster doses are offered to help you maintain strong protection from becoming seriously ill or needing to go to the hospital if you catch COVID-19 or FLU.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine booster doses are offered seasonally, and the FLU vaccine is offered each Autumn. Both can be a serious or life-threatening illness. It's offered to people at higher risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 or FLU to help you maintain strong protection.
If you are eligible for a seasonal vaccination, the NHS will contact you when it’s your turn to be vaccinated.
