Who Can Get a Free NHS Flu Jab in 2026/27?

You can get a free NHS flu jab if you're 65 or over (or turn 65 by 31 March 2027), pregnant, a carer, living in a care home, experiencing homelessness, living with someone with a weakened immune system, or aged 18 to 64 with certain long-term conditions such as diabetes or COPD. NHS jabs start on 1 October 2026, or 1 September if you're pregnant. You need one every year because protection fades and the vaccine is updated. Not eligible? A private flu jab is £25.

Is the Flu Jab Safe and What Are the Side Effects?

The injected flu vaccines used in the UK do not contain live flu viruses, so they cannot give you flu. Side effects are usually mild and get better within 1 to 2 days. They include soreness where the jab was given, a slightly raised temperature and an aching body. Severe allergic reactions are very rare. Tell us about any allergies before your jab, and find out more on the NHS website.

Can I have my flu and COVID-19 jabs at the same time?

When can I get my NHS flu jab in 2026?

If you're pregnant, you can get your free NHS flu jab from 1 September 2026. Other eligible adults, including everyone aged 65 and over, can get theirs from 1 October 2026.

How long does the flu jab take to work?

The flu jab usually takes up to 14 days to work, so it's best to have it before flu starts spreading. Protection fades over time, which is why you need a flu jab every year.

Does the flu jab protect against the 'Super-K' strain?

Yes. Subclade K, the flu strain nicknamed 'Super-K', is one of the strains the 2026/27 flu vaccine offers protection against. UKHSA says 'Super-K strain' and 'super flu' are not scientific terms.

When is the last date to get a flu jab?

It's best not to leave it late: UKHSA says the best time to get your flu jab is in autumn or early winter, before flu starts spreading widely. Walk in or book as soon as you can, and call us on 0208 556 4292 to check availability later in the season.

Can I have a flu jab if I'm ill?

If you have a high temperature, wait until you're feeling better before having your flu jab. If you're not sure, tell us how you're feeling when you arrive and we'll advise you.
