Get your FREE flu vaccine

Updated on 27 September 2023 Andy Morrison

Importance of Flu Vaccination This Winter

Given the possibility of flu and Covid-19 circulating together in the coming winter months, it’s imperative to get vaccinated. This not only safeguards vulnerable individuals but also strengthens the overall resilience of the health and social care system.

Flu Vaccination for All BrisDoc Co-owners

Our goal is to ensure that every BrisDoc co-owner is protected against the flu. If you don’t qualify for the national scheme’s free vaccination, we’ve set up a convenient way for you to receive the flu jab at no cost this year.

Eligibility Under the National Scheme

The national programme provides a complimentary flu vaccine for those with increased risk, which includes:

  • Individuals 50 years or older (or turning 50 by 31 March 2024)
  • Those with pre-existing health conditions
  • Pregnant women

If you’re eligible, we encourage you to obtain your free vaccine from your GP or local pharmacist ahead of the flu season.

Free Vaccination for Frontline Workers and Extended Offer

All frontline health and social care workers are entitled to a free vaccination through their employer. This offer has been extended to include all BrisDoc co-owners, regardless of your role.

 


How to Get Your Free Vaccine

To make the process as simple as possible, we’ve purchased e-vouchers that cover the vaccine cost. To claim yours:

  1. Click on the BrisDoc – Claim Your Digital Flu Vaccination Voucher link and enter your name and work email.
  2. Locate your nearest participating pharmacy here: Pharmacy Locator
  3. Book your appointment either online or via phone.
  4. Visit the pharmacy with your unique digital voucher code.
  5. Receive your vaccination.

Additional Preventative Measures

Apart from getting vaccinated, maintaining good hand and respiratory hygiene is essential. Always use tissues for coughs and sneezes and wash your hands thoroughly. If you believe you have contracted the flu, please stay at home until you’ve recovered.

Conclusion

While the risk may be unseen, the solution is clear-cut: protect yourself and others by getting the flu vaccination.
