The flu vaccine helps protect against flu, which can be a serious or life-threatening illness. It’s offered on the NHS every year in autumn or early winter to people at higher risk of getting seriously ill from flu.

Protect yourself from catching the flu.
Reduce the severity of flu symptoms if you do get it.
Help prevent the spread of the virus to your loved ones and the wider community.
The flu vaccine is recommended for people at higher risk of getting seriously ill from flu.

It’s not usually given at the same time as the RSV vaccine.
Most people who are eligible for the flu vaccine can have it.
You only cannot have the vaccine if you’ve had a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to a previous dose of the vaccine or an ingredient in the vaccine.
Some of the flu vaccines used in the UK contain egg protein. Tell the person vaccinating you if you have an egg allergy.
The most common side effects of the flu vaccine are mild and get better within 1 to 2 days.
They can include:
These symptoms are self-limiting and normally resolve with 48 hours, however taking the normal dose of a mild analgesic such as paracetamol and keeping well hydrated can help you manage this.
More serious side effects such as a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) are very rare. The person who vaccinates you will be trained to deal with allergic reactions and treat them immediately.
The injected flu vaccines used in the UK do not contain live flu viruses. They cannot give you flu.
If you are not at high-risk and you just want to avoid a nasty and potentially deadly illness, getting vaccinated can prevent serious complications and save lives.
