Protect yourself this flu season
Flu is more than a heavy cold. It can cause serious illness, particularly for older people, pregnant women and those with certain long-term health conditions.
The flu vaccine is offered every year because circulating flu viruses can change and protection reduces over time. Receiving your seasonal vaccination helps protect you and can also reduce the risk of passing flu to vulnerable people around you.
Tynewydd Pharmacy provides free NHS flu vaccinations to eligible people through the NHS Wales community pharmacy service.
Could you receive a free NHS flu vaccination?
You may be eligible if you:
- are aged 65 or over
