Free flu vaccinations coming soon

Published: 06/04/2023 | Safety, Health & Wellbeing | National

Free flu vaccinations will be available for all Fire and Emergency personnel soon.

Our annual flu vaccination programme has been delayed slightly but we’re working hard on having it live as soon as possible.

If you would like to get your flu vaccination earlier through your GP or local pharmacy, you can. Just pay, keep the receipt and complete a reimbursement form through our supplier once the campaign is live.

If you are eligible for a COVID-19 booster, you can receive this at the same time as your flu vaccination.

We will make an announcement on The Portal when the campaign goes live. This will include all the information you need to know about how to access your free flu vaccine, and what to do if you are an employee, volunteer, or contractor.

You can find out more information on the flu vaccination and the COVID-19 booster on the following websites:
