Don't let your protection fade if eligible. 

It is important to top up your protection, even if you have had a vaccine or been ill with flu or COVID-19 before, as immunity fades over time and flu and COVID-19 viruses change each year.

If you have an ongoing health condition, are pregnant or over 65 years old, get your free flu and COVID-19 vaccines. If your child is aged 2 or 3 or in primary 1 to year 12 they can get their free flu vaccine.

Getting your flu and COVID-19 vaccines means your symptoms will be milder & you’ll recover faster if you run into these viruses this winter.

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.
