Flu jabs for carers

If you are caring for someone you may be concerned about how being ill will affect you as a carer and the person you care for.

If you are the main carer for an elderly or disabled person who may be put at risk if you fall ill, and/or if you are in receipt of Carer’s Allowance, you should be offered a free flu jab, according to government policy.

Other categories of people are also eligible for a free flu jab, including those aged 65+, those who are pregnant, and those with certain health conditions.

Further information on flu jabs in England can be seen on the NHS website.
