Influenza is a serious disease, which causes widespread illness throughout the UK each winter. The Seasonal Flu Vaccine is usually available around September each year.

The seasonal flu is caused by influenza viruses that change each year, leading to widespread outbreaks. It can cause fever, chills, fatigue, cough, and body aches, and in severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia or hospitalization. The seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and others, especially those most vulnerable, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions.
The seasonal flu vaccine is updated annually to protect against the most prevalent strains of influenza. It is administered as a single injection and is recommended for everyone over six months of age, particularly those at higher risk of severe complications. The vaccine reduces your risk of contracting the flu and spreading it to others, providing vital protection during the flu season. Annual vaccination is essential as immunity declines over time and flu viruses evolve.
We can provide flu vaccinations for groups or companies, both in-clinic and off-site. For further information please email occupationalhealth@theigp.co.uk
The vaccine is recommended for everyone aged six months and older, especially individuals over 65, pregnant women, children under five, and people with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease.
The vaccine's effectiveness varies each year but significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and complications from the flu. It also helps to reduce the spread of the virus in the community.
Common side effects include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or fatigue. These symptoms usually resolve within a day or two. Severe reactions are extremely rare.
It is best to get vaccinated in the autumn, before the flu season begins. However, vaccination at any time during the flu season provides protection.
No, the seasonal flu vaccine does not protect against COVID-19. However, it is essential to protect against the flu to reduce strain on healthcare systems and lower your risk of co-infection.
