Frequently Asked Questions
Who can have a private flu vaccination?
Private flu vaccinations are suitable for many people who want protection but are not eligible for a free NHS flu vaccine. Our pharmacist will check your suitability before giving the vaccine.
When should I get the flu vaccine?
It’s best to have the flu vaccine before flu season is at its peak, usually in autumn or early winter. However, it can still be helpful later in the season if flu is still circulating.
Can the flu vaccine give me flu?
No, the flu vaccine cannot give you flu. Some people may experience mild side effects, but these are usually short-lived.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects may include soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site, mild fever, tiredness, headache, or muscle aches. These usually settle within a few days.
