NHS and Private Flu Vaccinations Now Available at Croasdales Pharmacy, Bury St Edmunds!

As the colder months approach, it's time to think about protecting yourself and your loved ones against seasonal flu.

At Croasdales Pharmacy, we're pleased to offer both FREE NHS flu vaccinations for eligible patients and private flu vaccinations at our pharmacies in Bury St Edmunds.

Whether you're eligible for an NHS vaccination or would simply like to protect yourself privately, our friendly and experienced pharmacy team is here to help.

Why Is Having a Flu Vaccination Important?

Flu is more than just a bad cold. It is a highly infectious respiratory illness that can cause unpleasant symptoms, including a high temperature, body aches, exhaustion and a persistent cough.

For some people, particularly older adults, pregnant women and those with certain underlying health conditions, flu can lead to serious complications.

Having your annual flu vaccination is one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk of becoming seriously unwell.

Getting vaccinated can help to:

• Reduce your risk of catching flu.

• Reduce the severity of symptoms if you do catch it.

• Lower the risk of serious complications and hospitalisation.

• Help protect vulnerable people in your community.

Flu viruses change over time, which is why it is recommended that eligible individuals receive an updated vaccination each year.

FREE NHS Flu Vaccinations

We are offering FREE NHS flu vaccinations to patients who meet the NHS eligibility criteria.

You may be eligible if you are:

• Aged 65 or over.

• Aged 18–64 with certain long-term health conditions.

• Pregnant.

• A carer or close contact of someone with a weakened immune system, where NHS criteria are met.

• A frontline health or social care worker who meets the eligibility requirements.

Other eligibility categories may also apply. Our pharmacy team will be happy to check whether you qualify for a free NHS flu vaccination.

Private Flu Vaccinations – Protect Yourself Even If You're Not NHS Eligible

Not eligible for a free NHS flu vaccination? You can still protect yourself!

At Croasdales Pharmacy, we also offer private flu vaccinations for people who do not qualify under the NHS programme.

Flu can affect anyone, regardless of age or general health. Even if you are fit and healthy, having a flu vaccination can help reduce the risk of illness and disruption to your everyday life.

Whether you're juggling work, family commitments or simply want to minimise your chances of becoming unwell this winter, a private flu vaccination is a convenient way to protect yourself.

Please contact our pharmacy team for information about private vaccination prices and suitability.
