- People aged 65 and over
- Adults with certain long-term health conditions
- Care home residents
- Carers
- People who are immunocompromised and their close contacts
Appointments can be booked through the NHS App, online through the NHS flu vaccination booking service, or by calling 119 for those unable to book online.

Winter vaccination resources for providers
UKHSA and NHS England have also published their 2026/27 winter vaccinations stakeholder toolkit to support organisations promoting flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccination this winter.
The toolkit includes key messages, FAQs, statistics, social media materials and information about ordering posters and leaflets. New and updated resources explaining vaccine eligibility are also available.
These resources may be particularly useful for adult social care providers communicating with staff, people who draw on care and support, and their families ahead of winter.
