We’d like to find out from people who’re eligible for a free flu vaccination about their experiences of getting the vaccine.

All adults over 50 and children in the first year of secondary school in England are eligible for a free flu vaccination this autumn. Flu vaccination is already offered to all children aged two and three, and all primary school children.

Among adults, priority will still be given to all those aged 65 and over, pregnant women, people with underlying health conditions and health and social care staff. Anyone living in the household of somebody on the Covid-19 shielding list will also be invited to get a jab.

For adults over 50, who do not have an underlying health condition, free vaccinations will not be available until later in the year.
