All frontline adult social care staff are entitled to a free COVID-19 and flu vaccination. This is because people who deliver face-to-face services, and many of the people they care for, are at increased risk from COVID-19 and flu.
COVID-19 and flu vaccinations will be available from the 3rd of October 2024 from more than 100 pharmacies and GP practices across Hertfordshire and West Essex.
The national booking website and phone line is now open (Monday 23rd September 2024), with appointments running from the 3rd of October 2024 until the 20th of December 2024.
Both vaccinations are safe to be administered at the same time, should you wish to do so.
