Annual flu vaccinations are recommended for everybody. Our private flu vaccine service is available to anyone aged 18-65 who isn’t eligible for the free NHS flu vaccine. You can check if you are eligible here.
Our private flu vaccination costs £16.
Common side effects of the flu vaccine are usually very mild and will alleviate within 24-48 hours. The most common side effects are:
- Pain or tightness around the area where the vaccination was administered
- A slightly raised temperature
- Mild aches and pains in the body, muscles or joints
It is very rare for a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to happen after the flu vaccine. Your GP or pharmacist will be trained in how to deal with allergic reactions and treat this immediately. The flu vaccinations used in the UK do not contain live flu viruses, therefore, cannot give you the flu or flu-like symptoms.
Bannerman’s Pharmacy only uses vaccines which are in line with the recommendations from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), for both our NHS and private flu vaccination services. There are several different types of flu vaccines given in the UK, and your pharmacist will offer you the type that’s most appropriate for you based on your age and general health.
Following updated JCVI guidance, people with an egg allergy can safely receive any flu vaccine recommended for them. Please tell your pharmacist about any allergies before your vaccination.
There is no appointment needed to get your flu vaccination at Bannerman’s Pharmacy, we operate a walk-in service for our private flu vaccine service. However, it is possible to book an appointment for yourself, or for someone you are caring for even if you are not getting the vaccine yourself.
Yes. We recommend that you get the flu vaccine every year, before the winter months come. It is important to get vaccinated annually as the flu virus can change from year to year. The flu vaccine is updated accordingly to match the most current strains of the virus, ensuring that you’re always protected against the most prevalent forms of the flu.
The flu vaccine can take up to 14 days to work, but it is the best way to protect yourself and others from the spread of the flu virus. Getting the flu vaccine does not mean that you will not contract the flu virus, but the symptoms are likely to be less severe and your body may fight off the virus quicker.
