US EditionFull List of Those Eligible as Winter Flu Vaccine Rollout Begins
The NHS encourages eligible groups, including over 65s and frontline staff, to get vaccinated to reduce flu severity and transmission this winter, officials said.
- From September 1, 2025 the NHS began offering flu jabs to pregnant women, children aged two and three, and all school-age children, with vaccines now available for those eligible this year.
- After a winter that used over 36,000 beds, NHS London and regional health leaders say seasonal viruses make flu serious, prompting wider vaccination efforts to reduce pressure.
- From October 1 the programme expands to those aged 65 and over, adults 18- 65 in clinical risk groups, care home residents, carers, and frontline health and social care staff, with bookings via NHS app or call 119.
- Health advisers emphasise the personal and communal benefits of vaccination, as NHS clinicians and local leaders in London urge eligible people to get vaccinated as soon as you can to reduce flu spread and hospital pressure.
- From October 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026, COVID-19 vaccinations will cover adults aged 75 and over, older adult care home residents, and immunosuppressed individuals aged six months and over, while health and social care staff receive flu vaccines at work from Wednesday, October 1.
