Protect yourself and your loved ones this winter with a flu jab and COVID-19 vaccine at Easons Pharmacy.
We provide both NHS and private flu vaccinations as well as access to COVID vaccinations, helping to keep our community safe.

Flu Vaccinations Near You

Every year, flu vaccinations are available at Easons Pharmacy, usually from October to December (dates depend on NHS guidance).
Book early – appointments open from the summer so you can secure your flu jab well in advance.

How to get your flu jab at Easons Pharmacy

We offer two convenient options:

Book an appointment in advance – guaranteed vaccine supply.

Walk-in flu vaccinations – available when stock allows.

If stock is low, our walk-in service may pause. We will place you on a waiting list and contact you as soon as vaccines are available.

NHS Flu Vaccinations

We offer a free NHS flu jab for eligible patients aged 18 and over.
To receive your vaccine, you’ll need to complete a short form – our friendly pharmacy team will help if needed.

If you’re not eligible for a free jab, we also provide a private flu vaccination for just £20.

You don’t have to be a regular customer to get your flu jab with us. Just bring proof of eligibility, such as a prescription slip or letter from your GP.

Important: If vaccines are in short supply, priority will be given to patients who have nominated Easons Pharmacy.

You are entitled to a free NHS flu jab if you:

• Are 65 years or older
• Are pregnant

Pregnant Women and Flu Vaccines

If you are pregnant, the flu jab is strongly recommended at any stage of pregnancy.
Benefits include:

The flu vaccine is safe for both you and your baby. If you are unsure, speak with your GP, midwife, or our pharmacist.

Flu Jabs for Carers
