Flu cases are rising across London. Flu is not just a heavy cold – it’s highly infectious and symptoms can come on very quickly.
Getting vaccinated means that if you do catch flu, your symptoms are likely to be milder and you’ll recover faster.
You can get your free flu vaccine on the bus if you:
- are pregnant
- are aged 65+
- have a long-term health condition
- are a carer or close contact of an immunocompromised individual
- are a frontline health or care worker
While the children’s flu vaccine will not be offered on the bus:
- parents of children aged 2 or 3 can contact their GP surgery to book their child’s flu vaccination. Some pharmacies are also offering the vaccine for 2 or 3 year olds. Check the NHS pharmacy finder to find your nearest participating pharmacy.
- school-aged children (from reception to Year 11) will mainly be offered their flu vaccinations at school. You can also attend a flu vaccine catch up clinic in the community.
We’ll also be offering free Covid-19 vaccinations. Check the NHS website for eligibility.
Come along to the Winter Health Bus and take simple steps to stay well this winter.
