At Click2Pharmacy, we offer private and free NHS flu vaccination services in Oldham.
The eligibility criteria for the free NHS flu vaccine in the 2024/25 flu season include:
Please note: children under 18 cannot get a flu vaccination at a pharmacy. However, they may be able to get it from their local GP surgery or at school.
The flu vaccine helps your body prepare to fight off the flu virus. When you get vaccinated, it introduces a small, harmless part of the virus into your system. This trains your immune system to recognise and attack the real virus if you come into contact with it later, helping to keep you healthy.
The flu vaccine is generally effective, reducing your chances of getting sick by about 40% to 60%. While it may not prevent every case of the flu, it can lessen the severity of symptoms and help prevent serious complications. Plus, getting vaccinated protects not just you but also those around you!
The protection from the flu vaccine usually lasts for about six months. That’s why it’s important to get your shot every year before flu season starts. Each year, the vaccine is updated to match the most common strains of the virus, making sure you have the best protection possible.
Most people who are eligible can have the flu jab.
You should not have the vaccine if:
If you think this may apply to you, please check the flu vaccine ingredients for the most appropriate type.
The flu vaccine is generally safe, but some people may experience mild side effects, including:
These usually resolve within a couple of days.
The flu vaccination at Click2Pharmacy costs £19.95 for those who are not eligible for the free NHS vaccination.
The 2024 flu vaccine covers the most common strains of influenza expected this season, providing essential protection against the flu.
It typically takes about two weeks for the flu vaccine to become effective after your injection.
Yes, it’s recommended to get the flu jab every year since flu viruses can change, and immunity can decrease over time.
Yes, you can book appointments for family members, friends or people you care for, even if you’re not receiving the vaccine yourself.
