Book your Flu and Covid vaccination via our online booking or call us during the working hours. We welcome walk-in as well.
A quick five-minute check before your jab. We confirm eligibility, check for contraindications, and ask about any allergies.
The injection takes under a minute. You wait 15 minutes afterwards and are free to go after that.
If you qualify for the NHS flu programme, your jab is completely free. No GP registration needed. Walk in or book online. The programme typically runs from 1 October through to 31 March. Pregnant women can access the jab from 1 September. Eligible groups include adults aged 65 and over, pregnant women, adults under 65 with certain long-term health conditions, care home residents, main carers, and people living with someone who has a weakened immune system.
If you do not qualify for the NHS programme, you can still get a flu jab privately. The vaccine used is the same inactivated flu vaccine. There is a charge for the appointment. Private flu vaccinations are available to adults aged 18 and over. No detailed medical history is required beyond the brief pre-vaccination check.
The NHS offers a seasonal COVID-19 vaccination to those most at risk. Eligibility is narrower than the flu programme and changes each year based on JCVI advice. The autumn/winter 2025/26 COVID campaign ended 31 January 2026. The spring 2026 programme covers immunosuppressed patients aged 6 months and over, running 13 April to 30 June 2026. Check current eligibility at nhs.uk or ask at the pharmacy. We will confirm whether we are commissioned to deliver the active programme.
When the NHS COVID programme runs alongside the flu programme, eligible patients can have both vaccinations in a single visit. The NHS actively encourages co-administration. It is clinically safe and saves you a separate trip. The flu vaccine can also be given alongside the shingles vaccine. Co-administration with the RSV vaccine is not usually recommended, though your pharmacist can advise on timing if you need both.
The table below covers the main NHS eligibility groups for the flu vaccine. If you fall into any of these categories, your jab is free — no charge, no GP referral, no prior registration at our pharmacy needed.

The flu vaccine takes up to 14 days to take full effect. Flu typically peaks in December and January. Getting vaccinated in October or early November gives you the best protection when you need it most. The NHS adult programme starts on 1 October each year.
The flu virus changes every year. Last year’s jab does not protect you this year. Pregnant women can book from 1 September. The campaign runs until 31 March — if you miss October, it is still worth getting vaccinated later in the season.
These usually pass within one to two days and do not require treatment. The injected flu vaccine contains inactivated virus particles and cannot give you flu.
Before your vaccination, tell our pharmacist if:
Your local independent pharmacy in Yatton, where the pharmacist who vaccinates you knows the community and can answer questions on the spot.

Yes, every year. The flu virus mutates between seasons and the vaccine is updated annually to match. Last year’s vaccine will not protect you against this year’s strains, and protection fades over time.
It depends on the severity. Some vaccines contain trace egg protein, others do not. Our pharmacist will check your allergy history before vaccinating and advise on the right formulation. If you have had anaphylaxis to egg in the past, let us know before you come in.
