• Private Service: Adults aged 18–65 years and pregnant women.

• Free NHS Service:

  • Adults 65 years and over (including those who turn 65 by 31 March 2026)

  • Adults aged 18+ in clinical risk groups (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, asthma with steroid inhalers)

💉 Vaccine details

• Type: Inactivated Trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIVe)

• Dose: Single 0.5 ml injection for the 2025/26 season

• Administration: Intramuscular (upper arm, deltoid muscle). Subcutaneous injection possible if bleeding disorder applies.

• Can be given together with other vaccines such as COVID-19 or HPV vaccines.

• Onset of protection: Usually 2–3 weeks after vaccination

🛡️ Why get a flu jab every year?

• Best protection: Annual vaccination helps protect against the latest circulating flu strains.

• Protect yourself & others: Reduces your risk of infection and prevents spreading flu to family, friends, and colleagues.

• Maternal protection: Pregnant women are strongly advised to vaccinate to protect both mother and baby.

⚠️ Possible side effects

Like all medicines, flu vaccines may cause mild side effects, which usually resolve within 1–2 days:

• Redness, soreness or swelling at the injection site

• Low-grade fever, chills, or feeling unwell

• Headache, tiredness, or dizziness

• Muscle or joint pain

In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur. Our pharmacists are fully trained in recognising and managing anaphylaxis, and emergency care is always available on-site.
