The flu virus circulates every winter, usually over a few weeks. The best time to have a flu jab is in the autumn, from September to early November.
Do not wait until the winter, when the flu virus will be circulating, before getting your flu jab.
Can I get the flu vaccine if I'm not in a risk group?
People who aren’t in the at-risk groups can pay for a flu vaccination privately. The flu vaccine may be available from pharmacies or in supermarkets. It would be provided on a private patient basis and you would have to pay for it.
