Flu Vaccination

Influenza is a highly infectious viral respiratory disease that is most common in the UK during winter months.

Flu is easily spread via aerosol droplets or by coming into direct contact with infected respiratory secretions.

Influenza is an unpleasant but usually self-limiting disease and in otherwise healthy individuals, recovery usually occurs within two to seven days. It can, however, cause severe illness, especially in people at high risk.

The flu jab does not prevent 100% of all flu cases.

People who have been vaccinated against flu tend to have less severe symptoms which usually improve within a shorter period of time.

Flu can cause serious complications in high risk groups such as children, the elderly, those with a weakened immune system and pregnant women. For these groups, the flu jab offers protection not only from the flu but helps to reduce the risk of more serious illness and the secondary complications of flu.

The cost of our private flu vaccine service is £30.
