HHS Offering Free Flu Jabs Next Week
The NHS announced that 2.4 million flu vaccine appointments will be available next week. Many people may qualify for a free vaccination, as the service aims to protect those at greater risk during the flu season.
Flu immunisation is routinely provided each autumn and early winter when the virus typically peaks. Although flu usually resolves without serious issues, certain individuals face higher risks of severe illness and require additional protection.
To ensure vulnerable groups access the vaccine easily and to prevent serious complications, the NHS offers the flu vaccine free of charge to specific categories of people.
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 helps the body defend against infections by teaching the immune system to recognise and respond to the virus. It introduces a small, inactive amount of flu virus to safely trigger the immune response without causing illness.
