Who can have a free NHS flu vaccine in Wales this season, and how to get a private flu jab for £15 at Peter Morgan Pharmacy in Dyserth if you are not eligible.
Who can have a free NHS flu jab in Wales
For the 2026 to 2027 season, the Welsh Government offers a free flu vaccine to:
- adults in a clinical risk group
- people who are pregnant
- people aged 65 or over
Eligible adults can have it at their GP surgery or at some community pharmacies. If you work in health or social care, ask your employer where to get your vaccine. Children are usually offered the flu vaccine through school or their GP surgery.
What counts as a clinical risk group
Clinical risk groups include people with certain long-term health conditions, such as some heart, lung, kidney, liver or neurological conditions, diabetes, or a weakened immune system. If you are not sure whether your condition counts, ask the pharmacist or your GP surgery.
If you are not eligible
If you are not in one of the groups above, you can still have a flu jab by paying for it at a pharmacy. At Peter Morgan Pharmacy a private flu jab costs £15. Read about our private flu jab.
Getting your flu jab at Peter Morgan Pharmacy
The pharmacy gives NHS flu vaccinations to people who are eligible and private flu jabs to people who are not. Call 01745 570232 and the team will check which applies to you and arrange a time.
When the flu season runs
In Wales the main flu vaccination season runs from September to the end of February. The vaccine is updated each year, so you need a new one every season.
Common questions
Is the private flu jab the same as the NHS one?
Both protect against the flu viruses expected that season. The pharmacist can tell you about the vaccine you will be given.
Do I need a flu jab every year?
Yes. The flu viruses change, so the vaccine is updated every year and last season's jab does not cover this one.
Where can I find the official eligibility list?
The Welsh Government publishes who is eligible each season. Read the Welsh Government page.
