Hi, just wondering if as a person with PBC, am I eligible for a free flu Jab on the NHS. It states liver disease but doesn't elaborate on that. Obv happy to pay but if I'm now covered then I would like to take advantage of that. I'm recently diagnosed so this isn't something I've come across before.

Thanks!
