There are two types of flu vaccines being offered this year. First is an injectable vaccine which works against three different strains of the flu virus. It is very easy to be administered and has very few side effects. This vaccine will be offered to our adults from 18 years of age.

For children between the age of two and seventeen, we have a nasal vaccine which is administered by spraying a tiny amount of liquid containing the vaccine into the nostrils. This avoids the prospect of a needle for our younger patients and is a very welcome advance in vaccine technology. For more information about the nasal flu vaccine click here.

You are eligible for a Covid-19 booster if you are aged over 60 or aged between 5 and 59 with a compromised immune system or a medical condition which puts you at increased risk of severe disease from Covid-19.
