Flu (influenza) is a serious illness that kills thousands of people and hospitalises thousands more in England each year. The flu vaccination is the best protection for you and those around you.
If you are eligible, it is important to top up your protection every year, even if you have had a vaccine or been ill with flu or COVID-19 before, as immunity fades over time and these viruses change each year. It is safe to have your flu and COVID-19 vaccinations at the same time.

If you’re eligible for the flu vaccine and are aged 18 years or over, you can book a flu vaccination appointment online or in the NHS App now. You can also book a vaccination appointment for a child aged 2 or 3 years.
Vaccination appointments will take place from 1 October 2026 for most people. Some people, including anyone who is pregnant and eligible children, can get vaccinated from 1 September 2026.
