What this service is for
Our flu vaccination service helps protect against seasonal influenza by supporting your body’s immune response. Receiving the flu vaccine each year can reduce your risk of infection and may lessen the severity of symptoms if you do become unwell. This service is suitable for individuals looking to safeguard their health during the flu season. If you have specific medical conditions or concerns, please consult a healthcare professional to confirm whether the vaccine is appropriate for you.
Who it’s for
Flu vaccination is particularly recommended for people at higher risk of complications, including those aged 65 and over, pregnant women, young children, and individuals with certain long-term health conditions. It is also advised for healthcare workers and carers to help protect vulnerable people. If you are unsure whether the flu vaccine is suitable for you, your GP or healthcare provider can offer personalised advice.
How it works
The flu vaccine works by preparing your immune system to recognise and respond to the influenza virus. It contains inactive components of the virus, which stimulate your body to produce protective antibodies. This process typically takes around two weeks. While the vaccine significantly reduces the risk of flu, it may not prevent all cases. For tailored advice, please speak to a healthcare professional or prescriber.
What to expect
At your appointment, a trained healthcare professional will confirm your eligibility and discuss any relevant medical information. The vaccine is given as a quick injection into the upper arm. Some people may experience mild, short-lived side effects such as tenderness or redness at the injection site. Full protection develops over approximately two weeks. If you have any concerns after your vaccination or experience unexpected symptoms, you should seek advice from your GP or pharmacist. Booking your flu vaccination early helps ensure protection throughout the season.
