Flu is a highly infectious disease and is different to the common cold. Symptoms include fever, chills, headaches, aching muscles and joint pain and fatigue.

The free flu vaccination is offered to those who are at increased risk from the effects of flu.

Details of who is eligible is available here.

If you have had a flu jab or have tried to have a flu jab we would like to know about your experiences of flu vaccination clinics or services.
