How it works
Why get the flu vaccine?
Protect yourself from serious illness
The flu vaccine cuts your risk of severe flu and hospital admission. UKHSA estimates it prevented around 96,000 to 120,200 hospitalisations in England last winter
Protect people around you
By lowering your chance of catching and passing on flu, you help shield babies, older adults, pregnant people, and those with long-term conditions.
Stay up to date each season
Flu strains change and protection fades, so you need the updated jab every year. The programme is refreshed each autumn with current vaccines.
