15/10/25 If you’re offered the flu vaccine, you’ve got a reason to get it

Flu hits hard, and for some, it hits harder. Last winter, Scotland experienced very high levels of flu, with more than 6,500 adults becoming so ill that they were admitted to hospital.

Check if you’re eligible for a free flu vaccine

The NHS in Scotland is offering the free flu vaccine this winter to those at risk of exposure to avian (bird) flu.

You’re eligible for a free vaccine if you:

work at, or regularly visit, poultry units and poultry processing units (including inspection staff)

cull and/or clean at confirmed bird flu outbreak premises

are likely to be handling live unwell birds where bird flu is suspected

are involved in the collection of wild or domestic bird carcasses where bird flu is suspected, including sea birds.
