Seasonal Flu Campaign Stakeholder Toolkit
The Flu is Serious Stakeholder Toolkit below outlines the overarching campaign, and contains campaign materials by eligibility group.
Due to the different ways in which the flu immunisation programme will be delivered this year and the increase in those that are eligible for the free vaccination we wanted to give you all the relevant information to help encourage uptake.

Purpose of the campaign
- To highlight the seriousness of flu, especially with Covid-19 around and importance of getting vaccinated, as well as educate new eligible audiences including social care workers, household contacts of those that were shielding, and from December 55-64 year olds will also be eligible.
Key Messages:
- Flu is serious: If you are offered the vaccine, please get it.
- Protect yourself: Every year in Scotland, thousands of people are hospitalised with flu. It can be serious and life threatening, so getting vaccinated is the safest and most effective way to protect yourself.
- Protect others: Reduce your risk of getting flu and spreading it to others, especially those who are most at risk.
- Protect our NHS: Help our NHS avoid the pressure that a spike in seasonal flu would put on top of Covid-19.
