Winter Flu Jab Service

The most effective way to protect yourself and others from the flu is to get the flu vaccine annually. Since immunity can decrease over time and flu strains evolve, a previous vaccination might not shield you from this year’s strains. That’s why it’s important to get a vaccine every year.

Although no vaccine guarantees complete protection, getting a flu shot will reduce your risk of contracting the flu and spreading it to others. It typically takes up to two weeks after receiving the vaccine to achieve full protection.

The vaccine will be administered in your upper arm, please wear something suitable where we will be able to access your arms. While some side effects may occur, they are generally mild and temporary. Common side effects include:

– Pain or soreness at the injection site
– A slight fever
– Aching muscles or joints

We recommend getting your flu jab in the autumn or early winter every year to make sure you’re protected from the most recent flu strains.
The flu jab typically protects you for a year, as the flu mutates each year it’s important you get vaccinated each year.
