Flu Vaccine: Age Cohorts

The flu vaccine is offered to certain age groups because they are more likely to get very sick if they catch the flu. In Ireland, the vaccine is free for all children aged 2 to 17 years and for adults aged 60 and over. Getting vaccinated helps protect you and also helps stop the flu spreading to family, friends, and the wider community.
