People Eligible for 2.4 Million Free Flu Vaccines Next Week
The NHS has announced that starting next week, more than 2.4 million free flu vaccine appointments will be available across the country. The vaccination programme runs annually during the autumn and early winter, when flu activity tends to increase.
While flu symptoms typically improve within a few weeks for most people, some individuals face a higher risk of serious complications. For these vulnerable groups, a free flu jab is offered by the NHS to help prevent severe illness and boost immunity.
“Flu is spreading earlier than usual. There are 2.4 million flu vaccine available appointments next week. Find out if you can get a free NHS flu vaccine and how to book.”
The flu vaccine protects the body against serious infections by training the immune system to recognise and combat the influenza virus without needing to experience the illness first. This measure aims to reduce hospitalisations and protect public health during the peak flu season.
Who Can Get the Free Flu Vaccine
- People considered at higher risk of flu complications
- Individuals advised by their healthcare provider

Key Benefit
