From 1 October 2025, the jab will be available to anyone who:

  • is aged 65 or over
  • lives in a long-stay residential care home
  • is a close contact of someone with a compromised immune system
  • is a carer receiving carer’s allowance, or is the main carer for an elderly or disabled person

Frequently asked questions

What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that is spread through coughs, sneezes and close contact with people who have the virus. It can be serious or even life-threatening for some people, including those who have a weakened immune system because of an underlying illness or treatments they are having.

Symptoms can include a high temperature or shivering, a new continuous cough, a sore throat and a loss or change in sense of smell or taste.

Most people have mild symptoms and recover quickly, but some can become seriously ill. Having a vaccination can reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms and help you recover more quickly if you do get the virus.
What is flu?
Flu is a very infectious virus which is easily spread through germs from coughs and sneezes. It causes symptoms such as:
  • body aches
  • a sudden high temperature
  • loss of appetite
  • feeling sick or being sick
  • tiredness
  • a dry cough
  • a sore throat
  • a headache
  • difficulty sleeping
Our team can give you advice on how to treat your symptoms if you get flu. This could include taking over the counter medication like paracetamol and ibuprofen and getting plenty of rest.
Why should I get vaccinated?
Vaccines can help protect you from getting flu or COVID-19. There is still a chance you may get one of the viruses, but it is likely to be milder and not last as long.

The protection offered by the vaccine reduces over time, which is why it is important to get a jab every year.
What will happen at my appointment?
Our friendly team will ask you some simple questions and talk to you about possible side effects and what to do you if you experience them.

They will then give you the injection in your upper arm, so please wear a short-sleeved top.
Are there any side effects from the COVID-19 or flu vaccination?
The most common side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine are mild and get better within a week. They include:
  • mild flu-like symptoms
  • feeling tired
  • a sore arm from the injection
  • feeling achy
  • a headache
Getting lots or rest and taking paracetamol can help.

If you are worried about side effects, please contact us or call NHS 111.

Ask someone to take you to A&E if you experience severe symptoms, such as chest pain or a feeling of tightness in the chest, severe difficulty breathing or a pounding, fast-beating or fluttering heart.

The most common side effects of the flu vaccine include:
  • a sore arm from the injection
  • a slightly raised temperature
  • feeling achy
These are usually mild and get better within one or two days.
Are the vaccines safe?
Yes. All vaccines used in the UK meet the strictest standards of safety, quality and effectiveness. They have been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and are continually monitored for safety.
