The autumn / winter vaccination programme, which includes the COVID-19 and flu vaccines has begun in Northern Ireland.

The vaccines help to prolong protection already received from initial COVID-19 vaccinations, while the flu vaccine is needed every year as the antibodies that protect you from flu decline over time, and flu strains change from year to year.

Your COVID-19 vaccine protection can fade and the flu virus changes every year.

Winter viruses can be especially risky if you’re 50 or over, pregnant or have an underlying health condition.

Boost your immunity by getting vaccinated, if eligible.

For carers, getting vaccinated gives better protection against severe illness and hospitalisation, meaning that they are better able to continue providing the vital care that is required of them over the winter.

Vaccination for carers is available through GPs, pharmacies and trust clinics. Find out more at www.nidirect.gov.uk/wintervaccines

Carers are people who, without payment, provide help and support to a family member or a friend who may not be able to manage without this help because of frailty, illness or disability.

Carers can be adults caring for other adults, parents caring for children who are ill or have a disability, or young people who care for another family member.

Children in P1 to Year 12 will be offered the flu vaccine in school.

Most children receive the vaccine via a quick and painless nasal spray. The nasal vaccine has been shown to provide even greater protection for children than the flu injection.

We are urging parents/guardians not to forget to sign and send back the consent form.

The PHA is calling on parents of pre-school children to get them vaccinated against flu.

This will help protect not only them but also those around them, particularly older grandparents or relations with an underlying health condition. Children in particular can increase the spread of the flu virus in the community, but vaccination helps curb this.

Pre-school children in Northern Ireland aged two years and over are eligible to receive the free flu vaccine through their GP.
