Flu Vaccines 2022/2023
We are happy to announce that the flu jabs are now in stock for the upcoming flu season.
There are a few different types of flu vaccine available.
They are all based upon data from the Southern Hemisphere’s more recent flu season, and thus change from year to year.
Find details of the specific types of flu vaccines here:
-
The usual flu vaccine given to anyone from 2 years of age up to 64
Covers 4 strains of flu likely to be prevalent this year
-
This is specifically formulated to be more effective in people aged over 65
It has long been a problem that the standard flu vaccine does not stimulate a great response in those over 65 - this contains an adjuvant (the -ad part in Fluad) which stimulates a much more effective immune response
-
This is for children aged 2 up to 17
No needle is involved - it is a quick, easy nasal spray
It is a live vaccine, so cannot be given if there has been a very recent illness
