Eligible people in Wolverhampton can still get their free flu vaccination this winter.

They include all adults aged 65 years and over, people who live in a care home for older adults, people aged 6 months to 64 years with health conditions that make them more vulnerable, frontline health and social care staff including those working in care homes for older adults, and pregnant women.

Those eligible can get their vaccination without an appointment at one of a number of pop-up clinics being held in Wolverhampton until the end of March.

They include clinics at: Sainsburys, Bentley Bridge, from 11am to 6pm on Thursdays 6 February, 20 February, 6 March and 20 March; Queen Square, Wolverhampton, from 9am to 3pm on Fridays 7 February, 21 February, 7 March and 21 March; and Sainsburys, Raglan Street, Wolverhampton, from 9am to 3pm on Thursdays 13 February, 27 February, 13 March and 27 March.

Clinics are also operating in other parts of the Black Country – for full details please visit

Councillor Jasbir Jaspal, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Adults and Wellbeing, said: "It’s vital that we all do everything we can to protect ourselves from winter illnesses such as flu, especially those of us who may be at higher risk.

“I would therefore encourage anyone who is yet to have their flu vaccination this winter to get it at one of the pop-up clinics taking place over the next few weeks, and ideally sooner rather than later."

Anyone not eligible for a free flu vaccination is reminded that they can still get it for a small charge at participating pharmacists.
