Protect Yourself This Flu Season
Our NHS flu vaccination service is available to eligible patients across Dumfries & Galloway, delivered quickly and comfortably by our trained team.
Why The Flu Vaccine Matters
Flu can be more than just a bad cold, particularly for older adults, pregnant women, and people with certain long term health conditions. A yearly flu vaccine remains one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk of serious illness and hospital admission during the winter months.
Who Can Get A Free NHS Flu Vaccine
Eligibility is reviewed each year, but generally includes the following groups.
Aged 65 And Over
Included as standard under the national flu vaccination programme.
Pregnant Women
Recommended at any stage of pregnancy to help protect both mother and baby.
Long Term Conditions
Includes conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and heart or kidney disease.
What Happens At Your Appointment
Your vaccination takes just a few minutes. We’ll ask a few quick health questions to confirm the vaccine is suitable for you, then administer it in a private area. Most people can go straight back to their day afterwards, with only mild, short-lived side effects if any.
Not sure if you qualify? Get in touch and our team can check your eligibility for a free NHS flu vaccine, or advise on a private option if you’d prefer to pay.
Book Your Flu Vaccination
Appointments fill up quickly once flu season begins, so it’s worth getting in touch early. Our team can confirm your eligibility and find a convenient time for your vaccination.
