Flu and Pneumococcal Vaccinations – Autumn 2026

Flu and pneumococcal vaccinations are given by invitation only.

Flu vaccination
You will receive an invitation for the flu vaccination if you are aged 60 or over, or if you have a medical condition that puts you at increased risk of becoming seriously ill from flu.

Pneumococcal vaccination
In 2026, people born in 1966 and those born between 1948 and 1952 will receive an invitation for the pneumococcal vaccination.

People born between 1948 and 1952 were previously invited for a pneumococcal vaccination (PPV23) approximately five years ago. They are now eligible for vaccination with PCV20.

Vaccination day on 7 October has been postponed

Unfortunately, we are experiencing delays in the delivery of the vaccines. As a result, we will not receive the vaccines in time and the vaccination day scheduled for 7 October 2026 cannot go ahead.

We are very sorry about this and understand that this may be inconvenient for you.

As soon as we receive the vaccines, we will arrange a new vaccination date. We will announce the new date on our website and by email as soon as possible.

We hope to receive the vaccines as soon as possible.

You do not need to take any action at this time. Please check our website and your email for updates about the new vaccination date.
