Free flu jab for students with serious long-term conditions

Did you know that the flu vaccine is offered free of charge on the NHS to anyone with a serious long-term health condition? Long term conditions include chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma; chronic liver, heart or kidney disease; diabetes; sickle cell disease, and more. Flu on top of any long-term health condition can easily develop into something very serious, and you could end up in hospital. If you are eligible and want to take up the offer of a free vaccine, contact your GP surgery or your local pharmacy to organise an appointment.
