It’s now even easier to get your free flu vaccine with walk-in clinics across Greater Manchester

Keep protected this winter

We know that life sometimes gets in the way, but with flu spreading earlier than normal this year, we’re urging people to get protected as soon as possible before the busy festive season.

Our mobile vaccination van is out and about in the heart of communities, visiting shopping centres, markets, community centres, football stadiums and more so you can get ready for the celebrations and keep protected at the same time.

To make it even easier to stay healthy, eligible people can also get their Covid vaccination at our mobile van. It is safe to have both together.

Our list of walk-in clinics is updated regularly. There’s no need to book – just turn up. If you can’t find a venue close to you, don’t forget that local pharmacies also offer walk-in clinics, as well as bookable appointments.

Flu and Covid can both be very serious. That’s why the vaccines are recommended every year. They are safe, effective and help protect those most at risk.

Eligibility

Adults who can get a free flu vaccination are:

  • over 65s
  • people with certain long-term health conditions
  • residents in care homes
  • people who are pregnant
  • carers

  • frontline workers

Free Covid-19 vaccinations are available for:

  • over 75s

  • people aged 6 months to 74 years with a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment

If you are unsure if you are eligible, just ask the vaccinator at the clinic or speak to your local pharmacist.
