Flu and COVID Vaccines in Harrow: NHS, Private and Booking Options

Flu vaccinations start from 1 October

Flu vaccinations start at Murrays Chemist from 1 October 2026.

This is the time for patients and families in Harrow to check whether they are eligible for an NHS flu vaccine or whether private flu vaccination may be suitable.

Flu vaccination will be available through both NHS and private routes. Access depends on eligibility, suitability, availability and pharmacist assessment.

If you are not sure which route applies to you, the pharmacy team can help.

NHS flu vaccine in Harrow

NHS flu vaccination is available for eligible patients, subject to NHS criteria and pharmacist assessment.

At Murrays Chemist, eligible NHS patients may walk in or book, subject to availability.

This may include children aged 2 and 3 where eligible. Parents should check access and suitability with the pharmacy team before attending.

Eligibility can depend on age, medical history, pregnancy, caring responsibilities and other NHS criteria. It is best to ask the pharmacy team if you are unsure.

Private flu vaccine in Harrow

Private flu vaccination is available for patients who are suitable but may not be eligible under the NHS route.

Private flu vaccination should be booked online through the Murrays Chemist website.

The access route is straightforward:

NHS flu:
Walk in or book, subject to NHS eligibility, availability and pharmacist assessment.

Private flu:
Book online through the website, subject to suitability and availability.

This helps patients choose the right option before attending.

What about COVID vaccination?

COVID vaccination is expected to start around the same time as flu vaccination, but confirmation is still awaited.

Patients should check with Murrays Chemist before attending for COVID vaccination.

This is because COVID vaccination timings, eligibility and programme details can change. The pharmacy team will be able to advise once confirmation is available.

Why Harrow families should check early

Flu vaccine demand often increases as colder weather arrives.

Families, carers, older adults and regular medicine users may find it easier to check early rather than wait until winter routines become busier.

Parents of children aged 2 and 3 should also check suitability and access with us.

If several members of the household need advice, planning early can make the process simpler.
