Getting a flu vaccination may be considered as a very sensible option to help with staying protected! Although getting a vaccination doesn’t prevent 100% of all flu cases, people who have been vaccinated and catch a strain of flu are less likely to suffer from severe symptoms and may recover quicker – which is reason enough for us!
At Charlton Pharmacy, our flu jab service helps to protect against four of the most common strains of flu prevalent this season. The flu virus is constantly changing, therefore our service is updated each season to remain effective against new strains and provided to people again.

How to Get the Flu Vaccination in Cheltenham

The flu vaccination service is available any time during flu season (September to March) and you can either visit Charlton Pharmacy to see if we have any walk-in appointments available or you can book an appointment online..

Free NHS Flu Service*
