Vaccinations

The flu vaccine helps protect you from flu, which can be a serious illness. The NHS offers free flu vaccines in the autumn or early winter if you:

• are aged 65 or over
• have certain long-term health conditions
• are pregnant
• live in a care home
• are the main carer for an older or disabled person, or receive a carer's allowance
• live with someone who has a weakened immune system
• are a frontline health or social care worker (through your employer)

You will normally be invited to book via a text or email link. Alternatively, you can speak to reception.

The COVID-19 vaccine reduces your risk of having serious complications and can help you recover more quickly.

You are currently eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination if you:

• are aged 75 years and over
• live in a care home
• are aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system

You will normally be invited to book via a text or email link. Alternatively, you can speak to reception.

There are many other vaccines available on the NHS, depending on your eligibility. These include:

• pneumococcal
• shingles
• pertussis (whooping cough) in pregnancy
• MMR

You will be invited when you are eligible. If you think you are eligible for a vaccine and you haven't been invited, please speak to reception.
