Did you know that 15-20% of the population contract winter flu each year? It is highly contagious and affects people of all ages, with even fit and healthy people showing symptoms. But, don’t worry, a winter flu vaccination at Imperial Pharmacy can help!
Flu can be very unpleasant, as well as being contagious. Different strains of influenza can be passed through sneezing, coughing or by touching infected surfaces or people. It can be serious for those more at risk of developing complications and these people are entitled to a FREE NHS jab.
If you want help to stay healthy and prevent the spread of infection among family, friends and work colleagues, taking advantage of the Imperial Pharmacy Winter Flu Vaccination Service is a good first step.
The Winter Flu Vaccination helps to protect you against the three strains of the flu virus, including the H1N1 virus. The optimum time to be vaccinated against seasonal flu is in the autumn, providing maximum protection before the start of flu season.
If you fall into one of the below risk groups, you are advised to have a flu vaccination:
But if the above do not apply to you, don’t worry, you may still be eligible for a private jab at Imperial Pharmacy (this is subject to specially trained pharmacist availability and stock availability).
You must be 16 years or older to get the winter flu vaccination.
Imperial Pharmacy in The Pantiles don’t want to keep you waiting, so check with a member of the pharmacy team to find out if you need to book an appointment for a flu vaccine in advance.
