The Flu Jab is in stock at YourGP!

15 September, 2016

It’s flu season again, it’s time to get the flu jab. The flu is an unpleasant illness and can be debilitating for many people who get it. It often involves being sick with a cough, fever, a blocked or running nose and a feeling of tiredness. People who contract the flu usually have to spend a few days at home, missing work or other commitments.

What can you do to prevent this?

YourGP receive delivery of the Flu vaccine, commonly called the ‘Flu Jab’ a few weeks before the NHS, enabling those who want it early can have it early – and we now have it in stock!

Our vaccine is available to anyone from 6 months old, who wants one. We run annual flu vaccination clinics, 7 days a week (Edinburgh only, Mon-Fri in Aberdeen), between September and February while our stocks last.
