Coronavirus (COVID-19) and flu vaccinations

On this page

It's strongly recommended you get vaccinated for flu and coronavirus. Both viruses can be serious - evidence shows that COVID-19 vaccine protection fades, and the flu virus changes over time.

Don't let your protection fade. It's important to keep up to date with your vaccines as your level of protection may have faded since your last dose. Getting another vaccine will top up your protection and help prevent you from getting seriously ill or dying.

The Spring 2025 COVID vaccination programme has ended - information on the Winter programme will appear here later in the year.

Vaccination is still the best way of protecting yourself against severe COVID-19 illness. The vaccine can reduce your risk of developing serious COVID-19 and make your symptoms milder if you do get it.

The flu vaccine gives you the best possible protection against flu viruses likely to be circulating during the winter season. The vaccine protects people around you who are more at risk of serious flu illness, like babies and young children, older people and people with health conditions.

The flu vaccine is usually offered between October and March.
