Fight flu this winter!
Did you know that people at high risk from flu are also most at risk from COVID-19?
There’s never been a better time to protect yourself, your friends and family from the double danger of seasonal flu and coronavirus.
The most at-risk people will be invited first to take up this year’s flu vaccination, free of charge.
Once the vaccination of the most ‘at-risk’ groups is well underway, health services will confirm when best to invite people aged 50 to 64 to secure their flu vaccination.
Get your flu vaccination at your GP surgery, a local pharmacy, your workplace, school or midwifery service.
Keep Greenwich Safe.
