Influenza viruses change from year to year, which is why a new vaccine is developed each season to match the strains expected to be in circulation. Getting vaccinated annually ensures your protection remains up to date. Beyond protecting yourself, vaccination helps reduce the spread of flu within the community, offering indirect protection to those who are unable to receive the vaccine due to age or medical conditions. Flu can be life-threatening for older adults, those with underlying health conditions, and very young children. If you develop flu-like symptoms that are severe or worsening, please contact your GP or NHS 111. In the event of difficulty breathing or other serious symptoms, call 999.
