The flu vaccine is offered free on the NHS to anyone with serious long-term health conditions and older adults. Having the flu vaccine will reduce your risk of contracting the flu and it will also stop you from spreading the flu to other people.
Flu can be serious and each year causes thousands of people to go to hospital and hundreds of deaths. If you have underlying health conditions, or if you’re older, you’re more at risk of becoming seriously ill from flu. You can book your flu vaccine with us by calling 020 8904 3883.
