Flu & Covid Vaccinations 2026/27

Our autumn/winter vaccination programme will begin in late September. Where possible, both the flu & Covid vaccines will be given at the same time.

Who can get the vaccines for free?

• Everyone aged 60 and older

• Children and young people aged 2 to 17 (nasal flu vaccine)

• People with long-term health conditions (for example, heart, lung, kidney or liver disease, diabetes or cancer)

• People with a weakened immune system

• Pregnant women

• Healthcare workers

• Carers and people who live with or care for someone at higher risk

Covid vaccine only:

Adults aged 18 to 59 who are not in a risk group can choose to receive a COVID-19 vaccine once a year, following discussion with a healthcare provider.

The vaccine should generally be given at least 6 months after your last COVID-19 vaccine or infection. In exceptional circumstances, this may be shortened to 3 months.
