Does anyone know if you can get this if you are underweight, BMI of 17, anaemic, but no other health conditions? Thanks.

You are aren't on the list of conditions for getting it free - unless you work in a care home or hospice, share a house with someone with an impaired immune system, or are someone's carer.

However you can get it for about £12 at practically any pharmacy if you still want one.

OK, thanks. I wasn't sure if the list that was coming up covered all eligible reasons or not. I wasn't sure if I was at higher risk or not, if I'm not then that's fine :).

I need a week off work anyway to be honest, I was maintaining my weight but I've been struggling lately, I doubt 'flu would be worse, but I'd get the vaccine if I was meant to.
