This time of year is when the flu can spread quickly, and that’s why it’s so important to get vaccinated. If you haven’t booked your flu jab yet, don’t worry—there’s still time! At Crest Pharmacy we are ready to help you stay protected by offering flu & private covid vaccinations..

Why You Need Your Flu Jab

Every winter, flu season comes around, and while for some it might mean a few days of feeling under the weather, for others, it can be far more serious.

The flu can lead to severe complications, especially in older adults, young children, pregnant women, and people with underlying health conditions like asthma, diabetes, or heart disease. By getting your flu jab, you’re not only protecting yourself but also helping to reduce the spread of the virus to those more vulnerable.

Flu symptoms—fever, sore throat, headaches, and muscle aches—can hit quickly and be unpleasant. A simple flu jab can make all the difference, reducing your risk of catching the virus or making the illness milder if you do happen to come down with it. Plus, it’s easy to arrange; just pop down to your local Crest Pharmacy to get it done.

We’ve made it easier than ever to get your flu jab. Simply use our online form to book an appointment to suit you, we still have appointments available in November. There’s no need for long waits or complicated procedures just a few clicks, and you’re all set!

The flu jab itself is quick, and most people don’t experience any serious side effects. The most common side effects people experience tend to be a slight ache in the arm or a mild fever, but these go away quickly. We are still well-stocked with flu vaccines, so if you’ve been putting it off, now is the time to book your appointment.

Don’t Forget About Your COVID Jab

While you’re booking your flu jab, don’t forget to book your COVID jab as well. For those in higher-risk groups—like the elderly, people with chronic health conditions, and those with weakened immune systems—getting both the flu and COVID jabs can provide even better protection. Both viruses can cause serious illness, and with cold weather driving more people indoors, the chance of catching these viruses increases.

We offer a private COVID vaccination service so that anyone that needs the extra protection this winter, can get it. Book your appointment online today.

Don’t Wait—Get Covered

With the holiday season fast approaching, now is the best time to get your flu jab. December is filled with gatherings, family visits, and events, all of which bring you into contact with more people—and more germs. By getting vaccinated now, you’re giving yourself time to build up immunity before the season really kicks off.

No one wants to miss out on the festive fun because they’re stuck at home with the flu. We all remember how stressful it was trying to avoid flu and COVID because we didn’t want it to disrupt Christmas and New Years plans, this year you can remove that stress by getting vaccinated.
