Seasonal Flu Vaccination
Influenza – flu – is a highly infectious and potentially serious illness caused by influenza viruses. Each year the make-up of the seasonal flu vaccine is designed to protect against the influenza viruses that the World Health Organization decide are most likely to be circulating in the coming winter.
Regular immunisation (vaccination) is given free of charge to the following at-risk people, to protect them from seasonal flu:
- are aged 65 or over
- 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
For more information on flu immunisation, please visit: www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/flu-vaccine/
Pneumococcal vaccination
The pneumococcal vaccine helps protect against some types of bacterial infections that can cause serious illnesses like:
- meningitis (an infection in the brain and spinal cord)
- sepsis (a life-threatening reaction to an infection)
- pneumonia (an infection in the lungs)
It can also help protect against other illnesses such as sinusitis and ear infections.
The pneumococcal vaccine is recommended for:
- Babies: 1st dose at 12 weeks and a booster dose at 1 year
- People aged 65 and over: 1 dose when you’re 65
- Children and adults at higher risk of getting seriously ill: At least 1 dose (some people may need extra doses or regular doses)
Shingles
Shingles is a common condition that causes a painful rash. It can sometimes lead to serious problems such as long-lasting pain, hearing loss or blindness.
You’re more likely to get shingles, and it’s more likely to cause serious problems, as you get older or if you have a severely weakened immune system.
The shingles vaccine helps:
- reduce your chances of getting shingles
- reduce your chances of getting serious problems if you do get shingles
The shingles vaccine is recommended for some older adults and people with a severely weakened immune system.
For more information about the Shingles vaccination, please visit: www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/shingles-vaccine/
Extra vaccines for at-risk people
Some vaccines are only available on the NHS for groups of people who need extra protection, such as pregnant women, people with long-term health conditions and healthcare workers.
