Seasonal Flu Vaccination

Seasonal Flu Vaccination Service

Protect Yourself, Protect Others

Each year, flu poses a significant risk to vulnerable individuals and those around them. At Hollowood Chemists, our Seasonal Flu Vaccination Service ensures you’re prepared with the best protection against flu-related complications. Convenient, efficient, and accessible, our service is here to safeguard your health throughout the flu season.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

From September to March, we provide flu vaccinations tailored to your needs. Here’s what you can expect:

How the Vaccine Works:

The flu vaccine contains an inactivated form of the virus, which cannot cause flu. It stimulates your immune system to prepare a defence, offering robust protection within 14 days of administration.

Specialised Vaccines for Over 65s:

For those aged 65 and older, a vaccine with an added ‘adjuvant’ enhances immune response for greater efficacy.

Accessible Clinics:

With extended opening hours and walk-in availability, our pharmacies offer convenience for your busy schedule.

Targeted Protection:

We vaccinate individuals at higher risk of complications, including those with long-term conditions and frontline workers.
