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.
Both vaccinations are safe to be administered at the same time, should you wish to do so.
You can use the find a pharmacy service to find a pharmacy that offers free flu vaccination. This service will close after 31 March 2025. COVID-19 vaccinations will be available again in Spring. The NHS will contact you if your NHS record suggests you may be eligible.
