The Flu Vaccination Season for 2024 has started. We recommend that you have your flu vaccination as soon as possible.
Please read the instructions below.
If you are eligible for a FREE NHS Flu Vaccination then you may want to register before you arrive at Botterills Pharmacy.

The Private Flu Vaccinations will be taking place in September once we have these Flu Vaccinations arrive.
As this is not an NHS funded there is no need to register before you attend the pharmacy.
Flu vaccination is available every year on the NHS to help protect adults and children at risk from flu and its complications.
Flu can be unpleasant, but if you're otherwise healthy, it'll usually clear up on its own in about a week.
But flu can be more severe in certain people, such as:
- pregnant women
- children and adults with an underlying health condition (such as long-term heart or respiratory disease)
- children and adults with weakened immune systems
Anyone in these risk groups is more likely to develop potentially serious complications of flu, such as pneumonia (a lung infection), so it's recommended that they have a flu vaccine every year to help protect them.
