Starting Monday, millions will be urged to book flu vaccinations online, aiming to ease the strain on the NHS this winter.
In response to the new Covid variant, NHS officials sped up the vaccination drive a month ago.
Since its launch on September 11, 3.7 million have received flu shots, with many opting for both flu and Covid vaccines.
During the same period, 2.4 million Covid shots were administered. Last winter, the NHS faced a high number of hospitalized respiratory illness patients.
