People eligible to receive free flu jabs are reminded to visit their doctor to book an appointment.

Pregnant women, those aged over 65 and people with long term health or mental conditions are able to receive the vaccine.

Last year in Barnet, 72 per cent of people over 65 received the free vaccine, as well as a third of pregnant women and half of those with long term health conditions.
