Seasonal Influenza (Flu) Vaccination Programme – Autumn\/Winter – 2023\/24<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\n

The Autumn\/Winter campaign 2023\/2024 for COVID-19 boosters and Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Programme is due to commence. It is aimed, where possible, to provide for co-administration of both vaccines at the same time for eligible individuals.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Persons aged 65 and older, all children aged 2-12 pregnant women (at any stage of pregnancy), those aged 13-64 years with underlying chronic conditions, healthcare workers, carers and household contacts of people with increased medical risk, and people with regular contact with pigs, poultry or water fowl are eligible for the HSE free flu vaccine in 2023\/24.<\/h2>\n

There are two types of flu vaccines will be available for 2023\/2024 HSE seasonal flu vaccination programme.<\/strong>
1. LAIV:<\/strong> Nasal spray suspension vaccine – Available for use in the HSE programme for all children aged 2-12 years and at-risk children aged 13-17 years
(eligible cohorts as listed below).
2. QIV:<\/strong> Injectable inactivated egg-based quadrivalent influenza vaccine – Available for all other eligible populations including those eligible children (aged 2-17 years) with contraindications to LAIV.<\/h2>\n

Balrothery Pharmacy also provides influenza vaccines for patients who do not qualify for HSE-eligible vaccine administration. This service is private, \u20ac25 and you pay in store.<\/strong><\/h1>\n
