Flu Vaccine

• Most eligible adults will be able to get the flu vaccine October 2025.
• This may be later than you've had the vaccine before, but it means you'll have the best protection when flu is most widespread.
• Flu Vaccine

Some people start getting invitation for their vaccination from September 2025, as per their eligibility including if:

• you're pregnant (especially if you're near to your due date) – it's important to get vaccinated before giving birth to help protect yourself and your baby for the first few months of their life.
• you're due to have treatment that will weaken your immune system (such as chemotherapy) – the vaccine may be given before treatment starts because it works better if given when your immune system is stronger.
