• NHS Flu Vaccinations:

  • Pregnant women: Available from mid-September 2025

  • All other eligible NHS groups: Available from early October 2025, in line with NHS England’s phased rollout

We will also be offering the COVID-19 autumn booster for eligible patients. This must be booked via the NHS website or by calling 119. COVID-19 and flu vaccines may be administered during the same appointment if stock and eligibility align.

Why Get a Flu Vaccine?

The flu vaccine helps protect against the most prevalent strains circulating this winter. It significantly reduces the risk of severe illness, hospitalisation, and complications, especially among high-risk groups. Vaccinating also helps reduce pressure on NHS services during peak winter months.

Vaccination helps protect:

• You – from flu-related illness and time off work

• Elderly individuals and those with chronic health conditions

• Pregnant women and their unborn babies

• Children and household contacts who may be at higher risk

Private Flu Vaccinations (2025–2026)

If you’re not eligible for an NHS flu jab, or prefer early access, our private flu vaccination service is ideal.

Why choose our private service?

• Available earlier than the NHS campaign

• Suitable for professionals, frequent travellers, and carers

• Delivered by trained pharmacists in a private clinical setting

• Competitive pricing – please call for details
