The Flu Vaccination Service is the provision of a flu vaccine, administered by our specially trained Pharmacist, to help prevent you catching flu. The Flu Vaccination Service is suitable for most adults. If you are interested in receiving the service, our Pharmacist will take you through a short series of questions to ensure that it is suitable before giving the vaccination. Lifelong immunity to the influenza virus is virtually impossible to achieve and therefore an annual vaccination is required to provide protection from the disease.

If you are busy and don’t have time to arrange and collect prescriptions from your GP, or you have just forgotten to order your prescription and don’t have time to wait, we offer a Contraception Service which allows women to obtain oral contraceptives directly from our pharmacist.

If suitable, the pharmacist can then supply you with a three month supply of your regular contraceptive pill.

We’ll tell you which vaccinations are recommended for your trip, when you need to have each one and then make your bespoke appointment schedule for you to receive your vaccinations.
