What it really means
Vaccines on the NHS schedule (childhood jabs, flu, COVID boosters for some groups) are free. Your GP surgery can check whether you are up to date — useful for newcomers whose home-country schedule differs. Travel vaccines may cost extra.
Chinese explanation
疫苗接种：NHS免疫计划内的疫苗（儿童疫苗、流感疫苗、部分人群的新冠加强针）免费。GP诊所可帮你核对接种记录——对来自不同免疫计划国家的新移民很有用。旅行疫苗可能需要付费。
