NHS to Begin Flu Vaccine Distribution for Over 65s on October 1

# NHS Confirms Flu Vaccine Rollout for Over 65s Starting October

The NHS has announced that the flu vaccine will be available for people aged 65 and older starting from October 1. This initiative aims to protect vulnerable adults during the upcoming flu season.

The vaccination programme will focus on providing the flu shot to those most at risk. Health officials emphasize the importance of vaccinations in preventing severe illness during the winter months. "Vaccination is a key way to protect yourself and those around you," said a health spokesperson.

The rollout will take place in GP surgeries and vaccination clinics across the country. The NHS is urging eligible adults to get vaccinated once the programme begins to help reduce hospital admissions related to flu.

Health authorities encourage individuals with questions or concerns about the vaccine to consult their GP or a healthcare professional.
