Health and social care workers

If you're a care worker who is eligible to have a flu vaccine on the NHS, you do not need to show your ID at a pharmacy. But if your employer can give you a letter identifying you as a care worker it may help.

Employees with flu vouchers

Some employers offer vouchers you can use at some pharmacies to get a free flu vaccine. If you have a voucher, check with the pharmacy that they’ll accept it.
