Check Eligibility

NHS flu vaccines are free for those aged 65+, pregnant women, those with certain long-term conditions, carers, and frontline health workers. Contact us if you're unsure — private jabs are £15 for everyone else.

Walk In or Book

Visit us during opening hours — no appointment needed for most flu vaccines. Booking ahead is recommended during the peak October–November period to avoid a wait.

Quick Vaccination

The vaccination itself takes less than 2 minutes. You'll be asked to stay for a brief 5-minute observation period afterwards, then you're free to go.

Your vaccination is recorded and shared with your GP automatically. We can set you up for a reminder next year so you never miss your annual flu jab.
