Pre-school children can receive their free, painless, nasal spray flu vaccine at their GP surgery. School age children may receive their free, painless, nasal spray flu vaccine at one of the flu vaccination clinics held in school, or at their GP surgery.
Adults aged 16-plus may receive their free flu vaccine at their GP surgery, or at one of the many community pharmacies that offer vaccination across North Wales. You may need to make an appointment. If you receive an invitation to get your free flu vaccine, please take up the opportunity.
