50 to 64 year olds not otherwise at clinical risk

Because of the threat of Coronavirus, and to reduce pressure on the NHS, this year's free flu vaccination will be made available to a wider group of people in a phased approach. People aged 50-64 who are not in a clinical risk group will also be vaccinated from November, providing there is enough vaccine. It is important that those at most risk from flu are vaccinated first, and GPs and pharmacies are working hard to get these groups protected from flu.

The dates of these clinics are to be confirmed but we are aiming to hold them in late October. Please check this website for further updates.
