IMPORTANT BOOKING INFORMATION
-
You are welcome to book your vaccination appointment with us if you are eligible under NHS criteria.
-
Please cancel any existing appointment you may have elsewhere (NHS clinic) if you decide to come to us — this helps avoid duplication and vaccine wastage.
-
If you are not eligible for a free NHS vaccine, a private charge may apply.
-
⚠️ We cannot administer NHS vaccines to people who do not meet the eligibility criteria.
-
⚠️ We cannot provide the live nasal flu spray (Fluenz Tetra), which is recommended for children and young people up to the age of 18. These are provided through schools and NHS clinics.
CHANGING OR CANCELLING AN APPOINTMENT
If you can no longer attend your appointment, please call the pharmacy as soon as possible. This helps reduce vaccine wastage and allows someone else to use your slot.
