Flu season is around the corner, and this is the time of year when many people start thinking about how best to protect themselves and their families. A flu vaccination remains one of the simplest and most reliable ways to reduce the risk of illness, particularly during the colder months when infections tend to spread more easily. At Murrays Chemist in Harrow, we provide both NHS-funded flu jabs for those who are eligible and private flu vaccinations for anyone who wants added protection.
The flu can affect people of all ages, but it can be especially serious for older adults, young children, pregnant women and individuals with certain long-term conditions. Even those who are generally healthy can become unwell enough to need several days of rest, and in some cases complications can develop. Because the flu virus changes each year, getting vaccinated annually is recommended to maintain the best level of protection.
Our trained team administers flu vaccines in a calm, professional environment, making the process quick and straightforward. If you qualify for the NHS flu jab, you can receive it here without having to wait for a GP appointment. For those who do not meet the NHS criteria, we offer private flu vaccinations for both adults and children, giving families in the HA3 area convenient access to the protection they need.
Booking is easy, and we try to make appointments as flexible as possible. Walk-ins are often available, which can be particularly helpful for people with busy schedules. We always encourage early vaccination so you are protected before flu levels begin to rise, especially if you have close contact with vulnerable relatives, work in public-facing roles, or regularly travel on public transport.
To support your overall wellbeing this winter, we also provide NHS blood pressure checks and a range of private blood tests, giving you the option to monitor your general health alongside your flu vaccination.
Give yourself and those around you the best chance of staying well this winter.
Visit Murrays Chemist on Kenton Road, Harrow, for NHS and private flu vaccinations.
All vaccinations are provided only after a clinical suitability assessment.
