Can I have the flu and COVID-19 vaccinations at the same time?

Where both are being offered together, they can often be given at the same appointment. Ask the pharmacy team and they will tell you what is available.

Bring your NHS number if you have it, and details of any health conditions or medicines you take. Wear a top with sleeves that roll up easily.

Do you vaccinate children?

Yes. Private flu vaccination is available from age 2. NHS flu vaccination for children depends on age and clinical risk group, and the team will check eligibility with you.

Do I need an appointment?

Booking ahead is best so you are seen at a set time, but you are welcome to call in and ask.

How much is a private flu vaccination?

£20.99 per vaccination.
