If you are unable to attend one of these, you can visit NHS Inform to find a local pharmacy which can provide it for free.

Most primary school children will receive the vaccine in school, children aged 2-5 will get their flu vaccines at special hubs around the city, this will be confirmed at a later date once details are finalised.

If you are aged 55-64, and are not in any of the above categories, you will get a vaccine in a later phase of the programme. Details will likewise be confirmed once finalised.

Those recorded as housebound, or who are in care will be receiving theirs via a visit from the Community Vaccines Team.
