We offer free NHS flu vaccine to eligible adults (Please note, children under 5 or those who attend school are excluded from the service from Community Pharmacies. NHS flu vaccines are only available in our Glasgow branches)
If you are not eligible for the free NHS flu vaccine, you can still protect yourself through our private flu vaccination service for £13.
The flu can be serious and can cause complications in some people. The best way to protect yourself and others is by getting the flu vaccine.
The vaccine helps to protect you against the main types of flu viruses and can also stop you spreading flu to other people. If you do catch the flu after being vaccinated, your symptoms will be milder.
The flu vaccine takes around 10 days to take become effective, so we recommend getting it as early as possible.
The flu season starts early September and lasts through to March.
Flu Vaccinations Available In-Store
The pharmacist will ask you a few questions to make sure the vaccine is suitable for you. Your vaccination will be given into the upper arm so make sure you wear a short-sleeved or loose-fitted upper garment / top.
If you do not have a raised temperature and feel well, you can get the vaccine. Otherwise, the pharmacist might reschedule your appointment for when you feel better.
As with any vaccination, side-effects are possible, but they are usually mild. The most common ones include pain and tenderness at the vaccination area, tiredness, headache, and fever.
Attend your appointment. Our clinician will discuss the service with you & answer any questions.
Receive your treatment from our clinician if it is suitable for you. Our clinician will administer treatment.
