Public Health England is encouraging people to find out whether they are entitled to the free flu vaccine
Vulnerable people are being encouraged to stay safe from germs this winter by getting the flu vaccine.
Flu is a highly infectious illness which spreads through coughs and sneezes of people carrying the virus.
People who are pregnant, aged 65 or over, have a long term health condition or are a carer are entitled to a free flu vaccine from the NHS.
Children aged two or three are also eligible to a vaccine in the form of a nasal spray.
