🔴 Flu jabs and Covid boosters on the NHS have been axed for adults under 65 this winter as officials said they will only be available for those most likely to benefit from vaccination
During the pandemic the rollout of flu jabs was extended to cover those aged 50 to 64 in line with those eligible for Covid boosters.
“The NHS is working to ensure a growing number of vaccine sites across England offer both flu and Covid-19 vaccines in the same visit, to make it as convenient as possible for people to get life-saving protection from both viruses ahead of winter.” Last year’s autumn booster programme ended on the 20 February 2023. Data up to 12 March showed that 73.2 per cent of 65-70 year olds in England had been vaccinated and this increased in older cohorts rising to 83.7 per cent in the over 80s.
