Certain groups of people are more vulnerable to the serious complications that the flu can bring. At Bramley Pharmacy, we’re dedicated to helping these vulnerable individuals protect themselves through our NHS and private flu vaccination services.

Who is considered vulnerable?

Vulnerable groups include:

– The elderly: People aged 65 and over are more likely to experience severe flu symptoms that could lead to complications such as pneumonia or even hospitalisation.

– Pregnant women: Getting the flu during pregnancy can be harmful for both the mother and the unborn baby. Flu vaccination during pregnancy not only protects the mother but also provides immunity to the baby for several months after birth. Pregnant women can get vaccinated under the NHS from 16th September 2024.

– People with chronic health conditions: Individuals with health issues like asthma, heart disease, diabetes, or weakened immune systems are at a higher risk of experiencing severe illness from the flu.

At Bramley Pharmacy, we offer NHS flu jabs for those eligible from 3rd October 2024. If you’re not eligible but still want to stay protected, our private flu vaccinations are available from 16th September 2024 for just £15.99.

Taking the step to get vaccinated not only reduces your risk but also helps prevent the spread of the flu to other vulnerable members of the community.
