About the Flu Vaccination

When should you get it?

Each autumn or winter, and before travel — flu circulates year-round in the tropics and in the opposite season south of the equator.

Vaccine schedule

A single dose each year, as the vaccine is updated for circulating strains.

Booster requirements

A fresh dose every year.

How it's given

A quick injection into the upper arm.

How long does protection last?

One flu season — which is why it's given annually.

Possible side effects

Usually mild — a sore arm or mild aches for a day.

Who should not have it?

Tell us about egg allergy (egg-free options exist) or if you're unwell.

Risk if you contract flu

Flu can cause serious illness and complications, particularly in older adults, pregnancy and people with long-term conditions. An annual jab is the best defence.
