What the vaccines are for
Vaccination is an important part of protecting yourself if you’re at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID & Flu.
The vaccines are offered because viruses change and protection fades over time. It’s important to top up your protection if you’re eligible.
Getting the vaccines can:
- protect against different types of COVID & Flu virus
- help reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms
- help you recover more quickly if you catch COVID or Flu
- help reduce your risk of having to go to hospital or dying from COVID or Flu

The COVID vaccine is recommended for people at increased risk from COVID.
You may be offered a COVID vaccine if you:

- are aged 75 or over
- are aged 6 months to 74 years and have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment
Who should have the Flu vaccine
