Amharc ar fhreagraFor the 2024/2025 flu season, it is intended that the flu vaccine will be available free of charge, through participating GPs and pharmacies and by HSE mobile vaccinator teams, to older adults, individuals in specified at-risk groups and this approach will ensure that those most vulnerable to the effects of influenza will have access to the flu vaccine without a charge.
