Boost your immunity
The NHS in the South West is making it as easy as possible for people to come forward and get their flu vaccine in the run up to the festive period.
Find out if you are eligible for a flu vaccine and how to get it.
There are also a number of walk-in clinics are open with no appointment needed, alongside booked appointments through the NHS App, the NHS Website or by calling 119.
Please remember to double check you are eligible before you are arrive.
You may also be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine which you might be able to get at the same time. Check your eligibility here.
Flu vaccinations for school-aged children:
Most school-aged children will receive their flu vaccination at school, although parents will be contacted to provide consent. If your child has missed the opportunity to be vaccinated at school, they should be offered a flu vaccine at a community clinic. Information on when and where catch-up clinics are taking place in your area are listed below and marked as school-aged catch up clinics. You can also contact your local school-aged immunisation service to book an appointment, details of each service are listed by area below.
RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) vaccination:
You may also be able to get an RSV vaccination if you’re aged 75 to 79 or are 28 weeks pregnant or more. For information on the RSV vaccine click here.
