Flu & Covid Vaccines at Your Local Pharmacy
Flu Vaccine in Newmarket, Cork
Seasonal flu is a contagious viral infection that circulates each winter. Vaccination is the best way to protect yourself against flu and can also reduce the severity of illness if you become infected.
Who Should Consider the Flu Vaccine?
The HSE currently recommends seasonal flu vaccination for several groups, including people aged 60 and over, children aged 2–17, pregnant women, healthcare workers and people with certain health conditions. Some carers, household contacts of higher-risk people and other groups may also qualify for free vaccination.
If you’re unsure whether the flu vaccine is suitable for you, speak with our pharmacy team or check the latest HSE guidance.
Why Get the Flu Vaccine Every Year?
Flu viruses can change from year to year, while immunity from previous vaccination also reduces over time. For these reasons, the HSE recommends annual vaccination for relevant groups.
Who Is Covid Vaccination Recommended For?
Current HSE guidance particularly recommends vaccination for older adults and people at increased risk of serious illness, including some people with weakened immune systems or underlying health conditions. Recommendations and seasonal programmes can change, so eligibility should always be checked against the latest guidance when booking.
Stay Up to Date With Your Vaccination
Keeping up to date with vaccination when recommended helps maintain protection against serious complications from Covid-19. Participating pharmacies can provide Covid vaccination to eligible people aged 12 and over under the HSE programme.
