On Monday (23 September), NHS England opening bookings for Flu and Covid-19 vaccinations for all eligible people. Anyone eligible can now book their vaccinations via the NHS website, by downloading the NHS App, or by calling 119 for free if they can’t get online.
For the first time, the NHS is also offering vaccines for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common cause of coughs and colds which can be dangerous to older people and young children. The jab, introduced earlier this month, is available to those aged 75 to 79, and is being offered to pregnant women from 28 weeks, to protect their child.
For those adults eligible for both Flu and Covid-19 vaccines, the NHS will make them available at the same time, giving the option to get protection from both viruses in one visit. However, it is more effective for people to have the RSV vaccination on a different day from any Flu or Covid-19 vaccinations.
