Flu:

If you don't fall into one of the eligibility criteria we can offer the flu vaccination privately to patients aged 18 and over here at Prestwich Pharmacy! 

We’re here to keep yourself and your community as healthy as possible.  Even at our fittest and healthiest, we can still catch the flu which is why we administer the flu vaccination on a private basis for anyone that is not eligible for a free NHS service.

Our Private Flu Jabs are priced £16.99*

*2022 price, 2023 price coming soon

Chickenpox:

Two doses of the chickenpox vaccine are more than 90% effective at preventing the disease. Some people who are vaccinated can still get chickenpox. However, the symptoms are usually milder with fewer or no blisters (they may have just red spots) and low or no fever.

MMR: 

The MMR vaccine is very effective. After 2 doses around 99% of people will be protected against measles and rubella plus around 88% of people will be protected against mumps.

People who are vaccinated against mumps, but still catch it, are less likely to have serious complications or be admitted to hospital.

Protection against measles, mumps and rubella starts to develop around 2 weeks after having the MMR vaccine.

Many more vaccines are available

Now that you have had your NHS flu vaccination, you can save time and receive a private pneumonia vaccination too. Nearly 270,000 hospital admissions each year in England are due to pneumonia, and around 1 in 4 cases occur in adults under 65.* 

Pneumonia is an infection that can cause serious illness and even death. It affects around one in 100 adults in the UK each year** and is most common in autumn and winter.

Am I at risk?

Pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death due to infection in men and women. It can increase the risk of having a heart attack, as well as worsening existing heart failure. Pneumonia can affect anyone, but some people are more at risk of catching it. 

Risk factors include:

• Increasing age – the risk is greater in older adults

• Smoking – not only is the risk of catching pneumonia greater, but it can be more serious in people who smoke

• Other health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease or respiratory diseases, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

• A weakened immune system

 We can provide flu vaccinations to your staff onsite at your location or at Prestwich Pharmacy.

Businesses include:

• Care Homes
• Offices
• Nurseries & Schools
• Colleges & Universities

Carers and Care Home staff are eligible for this service free of charge.

Other vaccinations

We can also provide other vaccines such as Hep A & B, Tetanus and more to your employees.
