More information
Seasonal vaccinations have proven safety records. They give you better protection than any immunity gained from previous infections.
Flu and COVID-19 spread more easily in winter. Even if you’ve been vaccinated before, it’s important you get the protection you need because viruses change, and protection fades over time.
For more information, go to www.nhs.uk/seasonalvaccinations.
