Flu & COVID Vaccinations

Flu vaccinations 2025 - 2026

We're making it easier than ever to book your flu vaccination this year.  Patients that qualify for just a flu vaccination (not COVID), will be sent a text message with a booking link.  Simply follow the instructions in the message to book your appointment.  As in previous years, we shall be holding weekend clinics. 

Child flu invites will also be sent this way.  As stock arrives and due to smaller volumes, we shall offer an appointment as soon as we can.  

Eligible cohorts for the influenza (flu) season in 2025 to 2026

 The groups eligible for a flu vaccine in Wales as part of the routine national flu programme in 2025 to 2026 will be as follows:
