2024 Seasonal Flu and COVID-19 vaccinations

By DTA | 1st October 2024 | News

If you're at higher risk of getting seriously ill from certain illnesses it is important to get your seasonal flu and COVID-19 vaccinations

Anyone eligible can book their vaccinations via the NHS website, by downloading the NHS App, or by calling 119 for free if they can't get online.

The vaccinations, which will be available from 3 October, provide vital protection to keep people from developing serious illnesses and ending up in hospital during busy winter months.

This year, based on the latest scientific evidence, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommended adults aged 65 and over, residents in older adult care homes and those with underlying health conditions aged 6 months to 64 years will be eligible for flu and COVID-19 vaccinations.

Eligible people will begin receiving invitations from the NHS to get their jabs, while GP practices and other local NHS services will also be contacting people to offer both vaccines. The flu vaccine can also be booked by searching online for a local pharmacy.
