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.
How to book your vaccine
Covid vaccines, nasal flu vaccines and adult flu vaccines for 65+ will be arriving the week of the 21st of September. Text messages will be sent out to eligible patient groups to advise when they can start booking online.
Adult flu vaccines for ages 60 to 64 years will not be arriving until later in the month. Text messages will be sent out to that cohort to advise when the vaccines have arrived.
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.
