For some, flu or COVID-19 can be very dangerous and even life-threatening. Flu and COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of serious illness in colder months.

Find out if you’re eligible and book now.

The nasal spray flu vaccine is quick, easy and helps protect children against serious illness this winter.

Let’s #GetWinterStrong

If your child is aged 2 or 3, contact your GP practice to book their vaccine.
