Should I get the flu jab every year?
Yes, the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is to get the flu jab each year.
This is especially important for those who may have health concerns that put them at higher risk of health complications. The strains of flu in circulation change each year and so the previous year’s vaccine may not contain the current year’s dominant strains, therefore offering much less, if any, protection against the flu you could catch. Immunity to flu is not long-lasting and so an annual flu jab is essential for maximum protection.
Our standard flu jab is the quadrivalent influenza vaccination, which is in line with NHS and World Health Organization advice. We also offer a variety of other flu vaccination options, offering one of the biggest selections in London including egg-free options, the children’s nasal flu spray, FluAd – the adjuvanted flu vaccine for people 65 years and older and the premium flu vaccine – the recombinant flu jab.
When is the best time to get vaccinated?
Ideally you would want to be vaccinated prior to exposure to the flu virus.
Flu jabs take 14-21 days to reach maximum protection so the earlier you have your flu jab, the better protected you will be. Vaccinations become available at the end of September and we see a spike in interest during October and November.
A flu jab offers the best protection against the flu
Can you vaccinate children?
Yes. Vaccinating children is important as it not only protects them but it stops them from spreading the flu virus.
Children are often referred to in the media as “super spreaders” for the disease. The flu jab can be given to babies from 6-months old but some parents opt for the nasal flu spray which is a needle-free alternative. The nasal spray can be given to children of 2 – 18 years.

I’m young and healthy, do I still need to get vaccinated?
Although vaccination protects the person who had the vaccine by building in antibodies, that is not their only purpose in society.
If the majority of a population is vaccinated, it offers protection to vulnerable people who either can’t get a flu vaccine or those in whom the flu vaccine is less effective. We should be thinking about how the flu jab helps the wider community we live in and to remember even healthy and young people can experience complications due to the flu.

Flu jabs are very safe for pregnant women. If the mother has a flu vaccination in the second or third trimester, it confers protection to the newborn, making it not only safe and recommended for the month but also offers babies some protection against the virus. This is important because flu vaccinations are only suitable for babies from 6 months onwards.

Yes, as you’ve never had the flu until you’ve had flu. Just because you have been fortunate to not have had the flu up until now doesn’t mean you will never get it. The vaccine won’t offer you 100% protection but if you do get sick, you’ll most likely have less severe symptoms. Not only that, but flu vaccinations offer protection to those you love, those you work with and those vulnerable in your wider community.

Yes, although it tends to become available later in the season than the injectable flu jab. We start vaccinating against the flu from the end of September but usually get the nasal flu spray stock late October/ early November.

If you’re currently feeling sick/ unwell, it is best to wait until you are feeling better before getting vaccinated. Babies under 6-months should be vaccinated but we encourage mothers to get vaccinated whilst still pregnant so that some immunity can be passed on to the newborn during this time. Those with complex health needs or allergies to any ingredients within the flu jab should first speak with one of our GPs to determine if they are suitable for the flu jab.
The flu vaccine is not a live vaccine meaning you cannot get the flu from a flu jab. Most people have little to no side effects following vaccination. The most common side effect is a reaction at the injection site. This can be tenderness, redness and slight swelling. This usually clears up in a day or two and as the flu vaccine is generally given in a patient’s non-dominant arm, this doesn’t cause any issues. Other side effects may include, headache, muscle aches, low-grade fever and/ or nausea. Again these are short-lived, experienced for no longer than 1-2 days. Rest and paracetamol is usually advised. Serious side effects are extremely rare.
