When can I get a flu jab?

Our seasonal flu vaccination service start from September to February every year.

Do I need a flu jab every year?

The virus that causes flu can change every year, so you need a vaccination that matches the new viruses each year. The vaccine usually provides protection for the duration of that year’s flu season.
