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
• 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.
