Winter Vaccinations 2025

A simple step for a safer winter

Vaccination is the most important thing we can do to protect ourselves and our children against ill health.

Starting from September, the winter vaccine programme will be available. This means that certain groups of people will be eligible for vaccines such as flu, covid and RSV.

Vaccination helps:

  • Protect vulnerable groups from serious illness
  • Prevent the spread of viruses in our communities

The NHS website has a range of trusted information about vaccines if you are unsure about what to expect.

Vaccines are offered every year as viruses change, and immunity fades.

You can check your eligibility and book your vaccine through the NHS website, or by calling your local GP or Pharmacy.

People who are eligible can get their vaccine for free.

Dr Chris Weiner, Chief Medical Officer NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board says: “The NHS is asking for your help to keep our communities well this winter.

“Checking your eligibility is a simple step to take and could help protect your loved ones.

“It’s crucial for those most at risk to consider getting vaccinated. The vaccine offers the best protection from becoming seriously unwell this winter.”

🏥 Where to get vaccinated

Vaccines will be available through:

  • Local GP practices
  • Participating pharmacies
  • School immunisation services (for eligible children)
