The Gibraltar Health Authority will commence its 2025 Flu Vaccination Campaign on Monday 13th October 2025.

The annual flu vaccine will be available to the following groups:

• Individuals aged 50 and over
• Individuals with long-term health conditions, or those who care for someone with such conditions
• Pregnant women
• Healthcare and care workers
• Residents in long-term care facilities, including the Elderly Residential Services

The children’s intranasal flu vaccination programme will continue to be administered through local schools. Additionally, anyone eligible aged 12 and over can attend walk-in vaccination sessions at the Primary Care Centre from Monday to Friday, between 1pm and 4pm.

To make the vaccine even more accessible, the GHA’s Mobile Health Unit will also be offering the flu vaccine at Casemates Square between 9am and 1pm on the following dates:

• 13–16 October
• 18 October
• 20–23 October
• 25 October
• 1 November

The Director of Public Health, Dr Helen Carter, said: “Please remember it is extremely important to protect yourself and your loved ones by having this simple, yet effective vaccine. The GHA had 66 people admitted to St Bernard’s hospital suffering from the effect of influenza during last years flu season, which ran up to the beginning of this year. 30 of those were children. This could have easily been avoided by having been vaccinated.  Please take up the offer to be vaccinated and help us avoid any further admissions.” 

Director General of the GHA, Kevin McGee, added: “The flu vaccine is a very safe vaccine which has been around for many years with a very good track record. We urge you to take up the offer of the flu vaccine and keep Gibraltar safe through the upcoming flu season.” 

The Minister for Health and Care, the Hon Gemma Arias-Vasquez, said: “We are encouraging everyone who is eligible to take up the offer of the flu vaccine by attending one of our clinics, walk-in sessions, or the Mobile Health Unit. We have tried to make it as easy as possible for anyone who wishes to have the flu vaccine to be able to do so. Last year, we saw 66 people hospitalised due to flu, and we want to avoid that this season.”
