Flu vaccine more important than ever during COVID-19 pandemic

Warwickshire County Council and health partners are encouraging residents to help protect the NHS by having their flu vaccination to avoid an increase in this serious preventable illness.

COVID-19 is still prevalent and we should all take steps to protect ourselves and others from serious, preventable viruses such as flu.

To help protect our most vulnerable residents, this year’s free flu vaccine will be offered to more people than before to help protect the health of our communities, this includes children from the age of 2, through to Year 7 school age. The free flu vaccine is also available to all children (from the age of 6 months) with chronic conditions such as COPD and Diabetes, and others that affect a range of body systems.
