Who can have the flu vaccine?

The flu vaccine is given free on the NHS to adults who:

  • are 65 and over (including those who will be 65 by 31 March 2023).
  • have certain health conditions.
  • are pregnant.
  • are in long-stay residential care.
  • receive a carer’s allowance, or are the main carer for an older or disabled person who may be at risk if you get sick.
  • live with someone who is more likely to get a severe infection due to a weakened immune system, such as someone living with HIV, someone who has had a transplant, or is having certain treatments for cancer, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
  • are frontline health workers.
  • are social care workers who cannot get the vaccine through an occupational health scheme at work.

Starting from mid-October, people aged 50 years old or over (including those who will be 50 years old by 31 March 2023) can have a free NHS flu vaccine. This is so at-risk groups can be offered vaccination first.
