Autumn is here, which means so is flu season. Every year thousands of us get sick and many end up in hospital because we don't get our flu jab.

The flu virus changes over time, so you won’t be protected this year even if you had the jab last year.  Flu jabs are free on the NHS, but only for some people. We’ve updated our flu vaccine eligibility checker for 2024, so you can see if you’re entitled to a free flu jab to help you stay well this winter. 

How does the Patient Access flu vaccine eligibility checker work?  

Answer a few simple questions on our flu vaccine eligibility checker to see if you're eligible for a free NHS flu jab in England. There's also some advice on who can get a free jab in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. You can also use the checker for a friend or relative. 

If you are entitled to a free flu jab, the checker will help you book it with your local GP practice or pharmacy if they share their appointments with Patient Access.

What if I’m not eligible for a free vaccination?  

The guidance changes slightly every year, so if you weren’t eligible for a free NHS vaccination last year, it’s worth using the tool to check, as you could be this year.

If you use the checker and find you’re not eligible for a free NHS flu vaccination, you can still book a private flu vaccination at a local pharmacy at an affordable cost. Just click the button below.
