Swine Flu - Archived Information

Swine flu vaccination: what you need to know

There is now a swine flu vaccine. You should have it if you are six months of age or above and:

• you have a long-term health condition such as chronic lung, heart, kidney, liver or neurological disease, or diabetes mellitus
• you are pregnant
• your immune system is compromised because of a disease or treatment for a disease
• you live in the same house as someone whose immune system is compromised.

Your GP surgery will contact you if you fall into one of these categories. If you do not hear from your GP surgery but think you are in one of these categories please give them a call to ask.

A vaccination programme will soon be underway in Gloucestershire. Please click here for more information.
