Get Winter Strong!

Get vaccinated. Get winter strong.

The winter vaccination programme provides vital protection to those eligible and their families over winter. Viruses common in winter can make some people very unwell and result in serious problems that may need hospital care. They can even be life threatening.

Protection from vaccines fades over time so even if you’ve been vaccinated before it's important to top up your protection.

This autumn and winter the NHS is offering free vaccines to those most at risk of being seriously unwell if they catch COVID-19, Flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Getting vaccinated is the best way to get peace of mind and keep yourself and those around you healthy this winter.

Check what free vaccinations you and your family are eligible for and how to get them.

You may be invited to get your free winter vaccines by the NHS through the NHS App, text, email or letter. Don’t worry if you do not receive this – you do not have to wait for it before booking an appointment. If you are eligible, go ahead and book.
