Flu vaccination is available every year from September to March on the NHS to help protect adults and children at risk from flu and its complications.

Flu can be unpleasant, but if you’re otherwise healthy, it’ll usually clear up on its own in about a week.

But flu can be more severe in anyone in the at risk groups, they are more likely to develop potentially serious complications of flu, such as pneumonia (a lung infection), so it’s recommended that they have a flu vaccine every year to help protect them.

Whitby Health Partnership are expecting vaccine supplies towards the end of September with more to follow through out October and November

Every year there are two types of flu vaccinations

• 65 & Over Adjuvant – contains an additional substance, or a combination of substances, that is used to increase the efficacy or potency especially as we get older our immune system weakens
• Under 65 for anyone who is eligible for a flu vaccination – Eligibility can be checked here

As the first batches of the vaccine supplies are the Over 65’s Adjuvant we will begin our campaign with this group
