The Health Service Executive provides free flu vaccine to GPs for all persons over 65. There is no charge for the administration of the vaccine for those over 65 who have a medical card or GP visit card. Where the patient does not have a medical card or GP visit card the fee for administering the vaccine is a matter between the GP and the patient.
