The flu vaccination programme will be a critical part of preparing the United Kingdom for winter and as part of our planning should we see co-circulation of flu and COVID-19.

On 14 May we published the Annual Flu letter 2020/21 which is available at the following link:

This indicated the main groups who are eligible for free flu vaccination. Further details will be published on our plans for the flu season soon.
