Free HSE flu vaccine: who can get it
You can get a free flu vaccine if you are:
- aged 60 or over
- a child aged 2 to 17 (children get the nasal spray flu vaccine)
- pregnant
- a healthcare worker
- living in a nursing home or other long-term care facility
- in regular contact with pigs, poultry or waterfowl
- someone with a health condition that puts you at higher risk from flu
- living with, or caring for, someone with such a health condition
The full list, including the health conditions, is on the HSE website: Who can get a free flu vaccine.
At the moment we can only offer the flu vaccine to people covered by the HSE (the groups above).
No private flu vaccines are available yet because of a delay in stock. As soon as our private flu vaccines arrive, we will let you know through all our channels.
