If your parents are 65 and over, they’re eligible for a free flu vaccine now — no need to wait for an invite.

Flu can be serious as we get older. That’s why the flu vaccine is recommended every year. It’s safe, effective, and helps protect those most at risk.

Contact your GP practice or local pharmacy.
