The NHS has announced 2.4 million flu vaccine appointments available starting next week.
A wide range of people qualify for a free flu jab, as the NHS regularly offers immunisations during autumn and early winter, when flu cases peak.
While flu symptoms generally resolve in a few weeks and rarely cause death in most, some groups are at higher risk of serious illness from the influenza virus. To protect these vulnerable individuals, flu vaccinations are provided at no cost to them.

The flu vaccine prepares your immune system to fight the influenza virus by introducing a small amount of inactive virus, which triggers your body’s defense mechanisms without causing illness.
The NHS is providing millions of free flu vaccinations to protect high-risk groups during the early and peak flu season, helping prevent severe infections in vulnerable individuals.
