The Importance of Getting Your Flu and COVID Vaccines This Winter

11 / Nov

Introduction

As winter approaches, cases of flu and COVID-19 tend to rise. Vaccination remains one of the best ways to protect yourself, your family, and your community from serious illness.

At Bushmead Pharmacy, we make it easy to stay protected with NHS and private flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, available in a safe, friendly environment.

Why Vaccination Matters

  • Flu and COVID can be serious — especially for older adults, pregnant women, and those with long-term conditions.

  • Vaccination reduces your risk of catching or spreading illness.

  • It helps keep hospital admissions lower during the busy winter season.

Who Can Get Vaccinated

You can get a free NHS flu vaccine if you’re:

  • Aged 65 or over

  • Living with certain medical conditions

  • Pregnant

  • A carer or frontline health worker

Private flu jabs are also available for anyone who doesn’t qualify under the NHS scheme. COVID-19 boosters are offered to those who are eligible under NHS guidance.

How to Book

Booking is simple — you can call us, visit the pharmacy, or book online. Most appointments take under 10 minutes.

Conclusion

Don’t wait for winter to catch up with you. Protect yourself today with your flu and COVID vaccines at Bushmead Pharmacy — quick, easy, and effective protection for the season ahead.
