IMPORTANT – Seasonal Flu Vaccination

Our Clinics are starting on Thursday 3^rd October 2024 – please book now.

Flu vaccine

The flu jab is an injection in your arm.

Having a flu jab can help stop you catching flu and passing it on to other people.

The best time to have a jab is in the autumn.

You need a jab every year as flu can change each year.

Who should have a flu jab?

People who are more likely to get very ill from flu should have a flu jab.

This includes those:

• 65 years and older
• pregnant
• with a health condition like heart disease, diabetes or asthma

Will the jab make you feel ill?

After a flu jab you may:

• feel a bit hot
• have a sore arm
• ache a bit

But do not worry, if you do feel ill, it will go away in a few days.

For any healthy school aged children please contact the SAIS Team if they have missed vaccination in school, including children that are home schooled – Tel. 01926 353 899      E. SOUTHIMMS@covwarkpt.nhs.uk
