Flu Vaccines at CarePoint Pharmacy

At CarePoint Pharmacy & Health Clinic, we offer fast, convenient, and professional flu vaccinations for only £12.99. 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

Skin Tag Treatment Options

At Skin Surgeons, we offer three skin tag removal options tailored to meet the unique needs of our patients and strive for both optimal medical outcomes and aesthetic excellence.

  • Cryotherapy

    This method involves using liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin tag. It's a swift and effective technique, particularly for smaller skin tags. The frozen tissue typically falls off within a week or two after the treatment.

  • Surgical Excision

    Our surgeon can remove larger or more complex skin tags using a scalpel or surgical scissors. This method offers immediate results and is usually carried out with local anaesthesia.

  • Electrosurgery

    This procedure employs an electric current to burn off the skin tag. It's an efficient way to remove skin tags with minimal bleeding, making it ideal for tags with a stalk-like appearance.

A professional assessment ensures the most appropriate treatment approach for skin tags, focusing on cosmetic excellence and minimal scarring. Our specialists at Skin Surgeons provide a comfortable experience with comprehensive aftercare advice for quick healing and optimal outcomes. Whether removing a single skin tag or multiple lesions, we are dedicated to offering the highest standard of care, with a patient-centred approach that prioritises your comfort and satisfaction.

FAQ: Skin Tag Removal

Although it’s difficult to prevent skin tags entirely due to factors like genetics and friction, maintaining a healthy weight, managing conditions such as diabetes, and following a skin-friendly diet may reduce their occurrence. Our specialists can provide personalized advice based on your individual health profile.
