Who Should & Shouldn't Get Flu Vaccine?

Who Should Have It

Who Should Speak to Us First

Tell the pharmacist about any allergy or reaction before your appointment. We keep egg-free and injectable options in mind when we assess you.

Side Effects

Side Effects of Flu Vaccination

Most side effects are mild and settle within a day or two. After the injection, you may notice:

After the nasal spray, children may have a runny nose, mild headache, or reduced appetite for a day. Paracetamol and normal activity usually help. Keep the arm moving to avoid stiffness.

Serious allergic reactions are rare. Our pharmacists are trained to handle them and have emergency medication on site. If symptoms last more than three days or seem odd, contact the pharmacist who gave you the vaccine.

Excellent service from Mak and Raj! I couldn’t recommend Three Counties Travel Clinic on Chapel Lane highly enough. Mak and Raj were both extremely thorough, taking the time to talk us through everything clearly, explain the procedures and discuss all the available options. They went above and beyond with their advice, making sure we fully understood what was recommended for our trip and why. We never felt rushed, and their knowledge, professionalism and friendly approach made the whole experience reassuring and straightforward. Thank you both for such excellent service , highly recommended!

Easy and efficient booking! Needed one for an emergency ASAP, booked at 9pm the night before and was all done by 10am the following morning. Really friendly medical staff there and helped sort the malarial tablets for us too. Special mention to Ranju & Mak who made this a smooth process 🙏

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have my flu jab and COVID-19 vaccine at the same appointment?

Yes. Both can be given on the same day, usually one in each arm. Tell us when you book so we can plan the slot.

No. We vaccinate anyone eligible, whether you collect prescriptions from us, another chemist in Farnborough, or nowhere at all.

The injected adult vaccines do not. The children’s nasal spray contains porcine gelatine, and a gelatine-free injection can be arranged instead.

Yes. There is no sedation and no restriction on driving, working or exercising. A sore arm is the only common limitation.

Yes. Several flu strains circulate each winter, and having one does not protect you against the others. Wait until you have recovered fully.
