People who live with someone who has a weakened immune system

Flu

To help protect the most vulnerable, people who live with someone who has a weakened immune system can visit their local community pharmacy to get their flu vaccine. 

If your GP surgery has a record of you being a household contact of someone with a weakened immune system (or if you belong to one or more of the other priority groups), you may be invited to get your flu vaccine at your surgery.

You may need to make an appointment. If you receive an invitation to get your free flu vaccine, please take up the opportunity.

From January 2, all adults eligible for the flu vaccine can drop in to one of our community vaccination clinics to boost their protection without an appointment.

 

COVID-19

To help protect the most vulnerable, all people aged 12 and over who live with someone who has a weakened immune system will be offered a COVID-19 autumn booster.

Anyone eligible for a COVID-19 Autumn booster can now walk in to one of our vaccination centres to increase their protection against the virus this winter. Locations, dates and times of our clinics are available here.

If you have already received a letter with details of your booster appointment, you can stick to the date and time on your letter or choose to drop into a vaccination centre at an earlier date. If you choose to drop in, there is no need to contact us to cancel your appointment.
