".Each year the NHS prepares for the flu and the unpredictability of it.For most healthy people, flu is an unpleasant but usually self limiting disease with recovery generally within a week.But for others it can lead to complications such as the lung infection known as pneumonia.Currently the flu vaccine is free to those deemed most at risk, including those who are pregnant, over 65, carers and primary school children.There is, however, particular risk of catching flu for older people, the very young, those with underlying diseases and those who are immunosuppressed.Earlier this month, Downing Street said ministers were trying to secure a "significant additional supply" of vaccines so the uptake in "at-risk" groups could be increased and more people could be made eligible for a free injection.The flu vaccine is usually offered for free to these groups by the NHS but you don't need to get it at a GP's surgery.In past years, you could have your NHS flu vaccine at your GP surgery, a local pharmacy offering the service, or a midwifery service for those who are pregnant.Some community pharmacies offer flu vaccination to adults (but not children) at risk of flu, including pregnant women, people aged 65 and over, people with long-term health conditions and carers.If you have your flu vaccine at a pharmacy, you do not have to inform a GP.
