Stay Well This Winter: get your flu jab

Winter is here, and with it comes flu season. This year, the flu is stronger and spreading earlier, which means more people could get seriously ill.

Why the flu jab matters

  • Protect yourself and loved ones – especially older family members or anyone with a health condition.
  • Reduce pressure on the NHS – fewer sick days and hospital visits mean more help for those who need it most.
  • Make illness milder – if you do catch flu, the jab can make it less severe and shorter.

How to Stay Safe

  1. Get your flu vaccinebook here (you’ll need your NHS Number!)
  2. Wash your hands regularly and keep indoor spaces ventilated.
  3. Stay home if you’re unwell, and encourage others to get their jab too.

Even small steps this winter can make a big difference. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and the people you care about.
