Flu can cause serious illness, particularly for older adults, pregnant patients and people with certain long-term health conditions. A seasonal flu vaccine helps reduce your risk of becoming seriously unwell and helps protect vulnerable people in the community.
Flu is more than just a bad cold. It can lead to complications such as chest infections, worsening of existing conditions, hospitalisation and serious illness in higher-risk groups. Getting vaccinated each year is one of the best ways to protect yourself.
Because flu viruses change over time, it is important to have a flu vaccination every year for the best seasonal protection.
Carrington Pharmacy offers flu vaccinations for eligible NHS patients and private flu vaccinations for patients who would still like protection but may not qualify for a free NHS vaccine.
You may be eligible for a free NHS flu vaccine if you are:
If you are unsure whether you qualify, our pharmacy team can check this for you.
