Flu vaccination is important because:
- more people are likely to get flu this winter as fewer people will have built up natural immunity to it during the COVID-19 pandemic
- if you get flu and COVID-19 at the same time, research shows you’re more likely to be seriously ill
- getting vaccinated against flu and COVID-19 will provide protection for you and those around you for both these serious illnesses
COVID-19 Autumn booster vaccine
Some people may be eligible for both the flu and the COVID-19 Autumn booster vaccines. If you’re offered both vaccines, it’s safe to have them at the same time.
