Flu national booking system now open
The NHS National Booking System is now open for eligible people to book their flu vaccination for the 2026/27 winter season.
People can book via the NHS App, online at www.nhs.uk/bookflu, or by calling 119 if they cannot get online.
There is further information on eligibility on the NHS website on the adult flu vaccine page (https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/flu-vaccine/), and the children’s flu vaccine page (https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/child-flu-vaccine/).
Winter toolkit and supporting resources now available
To support the delivery of the vaccination programme, the UK Health Security Agency and NHS England winter vaccinations stakeholder toolkit for 2026/27 is now available on the Campaign Resource Centre. https://campaignresources.dhsc.gov.uk/campaigns/vaccinations/seasonal-vaccinations/winter-vaccinations/public-winter-vaccinations/
It contains key messages, statistics, FAQs, resource links, and social media assets to support flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccine promotion, along with guidance on ordering leaflets and posters.
A range of new and updated assets are also available to help explain eligibility for each vaccine, and there is a dedicated toolkit to encourage frontline healthcare workers to get vaccinated.
