The flu vaccination

Royal Voluntary Service and the NHS work together to encourage people to get flu safe with a flu jab from their GP or pharmacist.

The following link explains how you can help protect yourself and your children against flu this coming winter, and why it’s very important that people who are at increased risk from flu have their free vaccination every year.

We hope that people with concerns about flu, carers and families, find this page useful.

For advice and information about flu vaccination, speak to your GP, practice nurse, pharmacist or school immunisation team.
