About the Flu
Influenza (flu) is a viral infection that mainly affects the respiratory system.
For most healthy people, flu is unpleasant but usually improves within around a week.
However, it can sometimes cause more serious illness and complications.
Flu symptoms often develop suddenly and may include
fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, a dry cough, sore throat and a blocked or runny nose.
Flu can spread through droplets and aerosols produced when an infected person coughs,
sneezes, speaks or breathes. It may also spread through direct contact with respiratory secretions.
Why Have a Flu Vaccine?
The flu vaccine is designed to protect against the influenza viruses expected to be most common during the flu season.
It is still possible to catch flu after vaccination, but vaccination can reduce your risk of becoming seriously unwell
and may make the illness milder if you do catch it.
The vaccine usually takes around 10 to 14 days to develop protection.
Flu viruses change over time and protection from vaccination gradually reduces,
which is why a flu vaccination is recommended each year.
Private Flu Vaccination
Adults aged 18 and over
Our private flu vaccination service is available for adults aged
18 years and over, subject to a suitability assessment by the pharmacist.
The vaccine is given as a single 0.5 ml injection into the upper arm.
Before vaccination, you will be asked a few health questions to make sure the vaccine is suitable for you.
If you are feeling very unwell on the day of your appointment, you may need to reschedule.
A mild illness, such as a minor cold, will not usually prevent you from having the vaccine.
Please contact us if you are unsure whether you should attend.
Who Should Consider a Flu Vaccine?
A private flu vaccination may be suitable if you would like additional protection against seasonal influenza.
- People who want to reduce their risk of catching seasonal flu.
- People who work closely with the public or in busy environments.
- People who want to reduce the chance of flu disrupting work, travel or daily activities.
- People who live with or regularly visit older or vulnerable family members.
- Anyone who would prefer to arrange their vaccination privately at a convenient time.
The Flu Vaccine
The exact flu vaccine supplied may vary depending on availability and suitability.
Your pharmacist will select an appropriate licensed influenza vaccine for you
in accordance with the service protocol.
If you have any allergies, have previously experienced a reaction to a vaccine,
are pregnant, have a medical condition, take medication that affects your immune system,
or have recently received another vaccine, please provide this information during your consultation.
