Protecting yourself against this year’s strain of flu is a good idea. We provide the winter vaccines in Chippenham and our team at Chippenham Pharmacy and Health Clinic is here to help you.

Maybe you are worried about catching flu, or you are concerned about having time off work. Or maybe you just want to make sure you do not pass it on to the more vulnerable members of your family. Whatever the reason, being vaccinated against this year’s strain of flu can give you protection and peace of mind. We give NHS flu jabs to people aged 18 years and older who are eligible to receive the jab for free and flu is also available as a private service.

The free NHS flu vaccines are available for those who:

• are 65 and over
• have certain health conditions (more information can be found here)
• are pregnant (from the 1st September)
• are in long-stay residential care
• receive a carer’s allowance, or are the main carer for an older or disabled person who may be at risk if you get sick
• close contacts of immunocompromised individuals
• frontline workers in a social care setting without an employer led occupational health scheme including those working for a registered residential care or nursing home, registered domiciliary care providers, voluntary managed hospice providers and those that are employed by those who receive direct payments (personal budgets) or Personal Health budgets, such as Personal Assistants

Patients not eligible for a free NHS Flu vaccination

If however, you do not qualify for a free NHS flu jab we can still provide you with a private flu vaccination.

Who shouldn’t have the jab?

Most people can have the vaccines. However, there are a couple of exceptions:

• If you are currently unwell with a fever, you should delay getting the flu jab.
• If you have an egg allergy, speak to your GP or pharmacist before getting the jab.
