Flu Vaccination 2026/2027: Letter Published 

The National Flu Vaccination Programme 2026 to 2027 letter sets out the eligibility, timing and vaccines to be used this autumn/winter.

Pharmacies will be able to vaccinate pregnant women from 1st September 2026.
Other adult cohorts can be vaccinated from 1st October.

To help protect the most vulnerable and keep health and care services running during winter when respiratory viruses reach their peak, it is vitally important that we continue to increase the numbers vaccinated in all of the eligible cohorts. NHSE will set out further detail on ambition and expectations ahead of the 2026 to 2027 flu vaccination programme.
