The 2025 winter flu vaccine programme has begun!

If you’re offered the flu vaccine, it’s for a reason – either because you’re particularly vulnerable to becoming seriously ill with flu, or to protect those around you.

Flu can be serious, especially for older adults, pregnant women, and those with underlying health issues. Last year, more than 6,500 adults in Scotland were hospitalized due to flu.

Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from severe illness. Pregnant women, NHS and frontline care workers, children, and those with health conditions are all encouraged to get vaccinated.

Look out for your invitation and stay safe this winter!
