Flu Vaccines at CarePoint Pharmacy

At CarePoint Pharmacy & Health Clinic, we offer fast, convenient, and professional flu vaccinations. Protect yourself and your loved ones from seasonal flu with our affordable and effective flu vaccine. Getting vaccinated is the best way to reduce your risk of catching the flu and spreading it to others, especially during the winter months when cases are at their peak.

Why Get the Flu Vaccine?

The flu is a highly contagious viral infection that can cause serious illness, particularly in vulnerable groups such as older adults, young children, pregnant women, and those with underlying health conditions. The flu vaccine helps to:

  • Reduce Your Risk: By getting vaccinated, you lower your chances of contracting the flu and its complications.
  • Protect Others: Vaccination not only protects you but also helps reduce the spread of the flu virus to those around you.
  • Prevent Severe Illness: Even if you do contract the flu after vaccination, it’s likely to be milder and shorter in duration.

Who Should Get the Flu Vaccine?

The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone, but it’s particularly important for:

  • People aged 65 and over
  • Pregnant women
  • Individuals with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease
  • Children aged 2-11 (nasal spray vaccine available for this age group)
  • Frontline healthcare and social care workers
  • Carers and individuals living with someone who is immunocompromised
