If you are attending a pharmacy for a flu jab, the process generally begins with checking whether you are eligible for the vaccination service.
A healthcare professional may ask about relevant health information, allergies, previous vaccination reactions and whether you are currently unwell.
The vaccination is then provided by an appropriately trained professional when the service is available and you meet the relevant criteria.
You can use the appointment as an opportunity to ask questions about seasonal flu vaccination and what to expect afterwards.
For the 2026 to 2027 season, NHS flu vaccination services are available through different healthcare settings depending on eligibility and local arrangements.
