Flu jabs: Where to get them in London and who is eligible for them

This year, with Covid-19 still circulating in the UK, the NHS have outlined why it is important for people to receive the flu vaccine.

Flu vaccination is important because:

• more people are likely to get flu this winter as fewer people will have built up natural immunity to it during the COVID-19 pandemic
• if you get flu and COVID-19 at the same time, research shows you’re more likely to be seriously ill
• getting vaccinated against flu and COVID-19 will provide protection for you and those around you for both these serious illnesses

According to the NHS, if you’ve had COVID-19, it’s safe to have the flu vaccine. It will still be effective at helping to prevent flu.

The flu vaccine is available to the following people for free on the NHS.

• People who are 50 and over (including those who’ll be 50 by 31 March 2022)
• have certain health conditions
• are pregnant
• are in long-stay residential care
• receive a carer’s allowance, or are the main carer for an older or disabled person who may be at risk if you get sick
• live with someone who is more likely to get infections (such as someone who has HIV, has had a transplant or is having certain treatments for cancer, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis)
• frontline health or social care workers
