Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for a free NHS flu vaccine?

You qualify for a free NHS jab if you are aged 65 or over, pregnant, have a long-term health condition (like asthma or diabetes), are a registered carer, or work in healthcare.

Do I need to book an appointment or can I walk in?

Both options are welcome! You can book a guaranteed time slot online in seconds, or simply walk into the pharmacy during opening hours.

How much does a private flu jab cost?

If you do not qualify for a free NHS vaccine, our private flu vaccination service is available to everyone from £15-20 with no GP referral needed.

Can I get my flu jab and COVID-19 booster together?

Yes. If eligible for both NHS vaccines, they can safely be administered during the same appointment, subject to local NHS stock availability.

Do I need to be registered with a local GP surgery?

No. Anyone can receive a vaccine at North Yate Pharmacy. We automatically update your registered GP surgery so your NHS records stay current.

Are there any side effects from the flu jab?

Most side effects are mild and improve within 1 to 2 days. These may include mild soreness or redness where the injection was given, a slightly raised temperature, or minor muscle aches. Injected flu vaccines in the UK do not contain live viruses and cannot give you the flu. Serious allergic reactions are extremely rare, and our pharmacists are fully trained to manage them immediately.
