Patients are eligible for a winter vaccine if they are:

• Aged between five and 65 and at increased risk (for example, you have a long-term lung condition, heart condition or weakened immune system)
• Living in a care home for older adults
• A frontline health or social care worker
• A carer
• Aged 12 to 64 and live with someone with a weakened immune system.

The area’s vaccine service is run by Torbay General Practice (TGP) – an alliance of ten local GP practices.
