Visit our free drop-in clinic, where the flu and COVID-19 vaccines are available on the day with no appointment needed. You do not need to be registered with a GP. If you are unsure about having the vaccine, GPs and other health professionals are available on the day to answer any questions you have.
A vaccine helps give you good protection from becoming seriously ill or needing to go to hospital if you catch COVID-19. Seasonal vaccines are offered because viruses change, and protection fades over time. Some people may be eligible for both the flu and the COVID-19 booster vaccines. If you are offered both vaccines, it’s safe to have them at the same time.
You can have a vaccine if you are:
- are aged 65 or over (including those who will be 65 by 31 March 2025)
- are aged 6 months to 64 years and have an increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 because of a health condition or treatment
- have certain long-term health conditions
- are pregnant
- live in a care home, are the main carer for an older or disabled person, or receive a carer’s allowance
- live with someone who has a weakened immune system
- Frontline health and social care workers can also get a flu vaccine through their employer.
You can also get the following health and wellbeing checks:
- Health checks
- Blood pressure checks
- Blood glucose checks
- BMI checks / weight management conversations
- Help with quitting smoking
- Health & wellbeing conversations (eg alcohol, mental health)
- Cancer awareness
If you are clinically vulnerable, or over 65 years old, you can also arrange your flu vaccine at the event.
