Why Get the Flu Vaccine?
Flu is a contagious respiratory illness that can cause serious complications, particularly in older adults, pregnant women, and people with long-term health conditions. Even in healthy individuals, flu can lead to severe symptoms, time off work, and spreading infection to vulnerable people.
The flu vaccine helps reduce your risk of catching flu and lowers the chance of serious illness or hospitalisation. Because flu viruses change each year, vaccination is recommended annually.
Our pharmacy provides both NHS-funded flu vaccinations for eligible groups and private flu vaccinations for those not covered by the NHS scheme.

Common Questions
