Flu Vaccination Question I have been told I need to get a flu vaccine. Can I get it for free?
Answer Influenza, usually known as the flu, is highly infectious and anyone can get it. However some groups are at greater risk of complications if they get the flu. This includes people over the age of 65, pregnant women and people who have a chronic medical condition.

Are a carer or a healthcare worker
· Have regular contact with poultry, water fowl or pigs You can get the vaccine from your GP (family doctor) or pharmacist. Children can get the vaccine from a GP. The vaccine itself is free of charge if you are in
one of the recommended groups. However, doctors and pharmacists may charge a consultation fee when they give you the vaccine. If you have a medical card or GP visit card you can get the vaccine without being charged a consultation fee.
The flu vaccine can help protect you from getting the flu. The flu virus changes every year and this is why there is a new vaccine each year. Vaccination is strongly recommended if you: ·
Are aged 65 and over
· Have a long-term medical condition such as diabetes, heart, kidney, liver, lung or neurological disease · Have an impaired immune system due to disease or treatment ·
Have a body mass index (BMI) over 40
·
Are pregnant
