Why it’s more important than ever to get your flu vaccine this year.
It may seem odd to be talking about the winter flu season in the middle of summer, but given the current circumstances, with COVID-19 still posing a very real risk and the potential for a second surge of the virus in the coming months, it makes sense to start planning ahead. And this year, it will be more important than ever to get your flu vaccine for three key reasons:
Why is it important for individuals to get vaccinated?
- It is likely that a person infected with both coronavirus and flu will have a higher risk of complications.
- Large numbers of cases of flu combined with coronavirus could potentially overwhelm hospitals.
- If a large number of NHS or care home staff are sick with flu, they will not have the capacity to respond as required to another potential surge in COVID-19 cases.
Who can get the flu vaccine?
The vaccine is available to anyone from 6 months old. Children aged 6-24 months are eligible for the injectable flu vaccine, and children from 2 years are eligible for either the nasal spray or injection.
Is it worth considering the YourGP Corporate Flu package?
YourGP offers a Corporate Flu package as part of our Occupational Healthcare. It can be an effective way of reducing employee absence – which can have a massive effect on performance, productivity and profits – a major concern for many businesses hit by the recent Lockdown restrictions.
When can I get the vaccine?
YourGP will be offering vaccination appointments from Tuesday 22nd September onwards, while stocks last.
How much does the flu vaccine cost?
Single dose, injection: £20.00
Single dose, nasal spray: £TBC (currently unavailable)
Payment will be taken in full at the time of booking.
Are there any side effects?
Very occasionally, some people may experience side effects. However, the nurse will discuss this in detail before administering the vaccine.

I had been at this practice since late 2018. The staff have been nothing but amazing! The care given here has to be the best care I’ve ever received at any practice. Very polite, greeted with a smile and always made sure you were comfortable.
The response times are extremely quick, always on that day or early next morning, pointing you into the right direction. Even if they were unable to assist, they would always make sure you knew where to go and what to do.
Your appointments are always accommodated to your needs, some imes I was unable to make my routine appointments in person so they would happily offer a Skype call which made things easier as I live a few hours away, but was always happy to make the trip when I could as it was always a pleasant experience.
I cannot thank this practice enough for the help that they gave me, I now feel confident and comfortable with myself and I would definitely recommend their services!
