Who Qualifies for 2.4 Million Free Flu Vaccines Next Week
The NHS has announced that over two million flu vaccine appointments will be available next week for free to a range of eligible people.
Why Flu Vaccinations Are Important
The NHS offers flu immunisations each year during autumn and early winter, as this season usually sees a peak in flu infections. While most people recover from flu within a few weeks without serious issues, some groups face a higher risk of severe complications.
Who Is at Higher Risk
Certain individuals are more vulnerable to serious illness if they catch the influenza virus. To protect these groups and reduce complications, the flu vaccine is provided for free to those who need it most.

"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."
How the Flu Vaccine Works
The flu jab helps protect your body from serious infections caused by the influenza virus. It prepares your immune system to recognize and fight the virus without having to be infected first.
Summary
The NHS is expanding access to free flu vaccinations to help protect vulnerable groups from severe flu complications amid an early season increase in cases.
