Why wait to protect yourself? This year, getting the flu vaccination is more vital than ever. Horton Pharmacy and Travel Clinic provides both NHS and private flu vaccinations to the Epsom area.
The flu vaccine offers you protection against the Influenza Virus. This vaccination provides the best possible protection against catching the flu. There is still a chance that you may contract the virus after having the jab, however it is likely to not last as long, as well as being a milder case. Moreover, having the flu vaccine will help you to protect those around you, as it will stop you from spreading it to those who may be more at risk from serious flu-related complications.
You will be eligible for the free NHS flu jab if you:
– Are an adult aged 65 or over
– Have specific health conditions
– Are pregnant
– Are in long-term residential care
–are the main carer for an older or disabled person, or receive a carer’s allowance
–live with someone who has a weakened immune system
A full list of those who are eligible for the free vaccine can be found on the NHS website.
We also offer a Private flu vaccination for £19.99, for those who do not meet the criteria above.
