Get Vaccinated in Four Easy Steps

Getting your flu jab with us is quick, comfortable, and completely confidential. You can either walk in anytime or book an appointment over the phone. And here’s how the process works.

1. Check-in and Confirm Eligibility

When you arrive, we’ll verify your details and confirm whether you’re eligible for an NHS-funded vaccination.

2. Health and Allergy Check

Our pharmacist will ask a few short questions about your health and any allergies to ensure the vaccine is suitable for you.

3. Receive Your Vaccine

The flu jab is administered in our private consultation room, and the injection itself takes just a few seconds.

4. Aftercare and Records

You’ll receive brief aftercare advice, and with your consent, we’ll record your vaccination on the NHS system. A printed receipt can also be provided upon request.

Note: Please complete your risk assessment and consent form prior to your appointment.

Check If You’re Eligible for a Free NHS Flu Vaccination
