As we approach the colder months, protecting yourself against seasonal viruses is more important than ever. At our pharmacy, we provide a streamlined service for the NHS flu and COVID jab in Barking road, ensuring our local community in E13 has easy access to vital vaccinations.

Frequently Asked Question

Can I really have the flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time?

Yes. It is safe and clinically approved to have both vaccinations during the same appointment. They are usually administered in different arms to minimize any localized discomfort.

You can book your appointment through the NHS National Booking Service (NBS) website or app. We also offer walk-in NHS flu and COVID jabs in Plaistow during specific hours, though booking is recommended to guarantee your slot.

Most people experience only mild side effects, such as a sore arm, thumping headache, or feeling slightly tired for 24 hours. These are normal signs that your immune system is responding to the vaccine.

If you fall into one of the NHS eligible groups, both the flu and COVID-19 vaccinations are completely free. If you are not eligible for a free NHS flu jab, we offer a private flu vaccination service for a competitive fee.

Please bring your NHS number if you have it, and wear a short-sleeved top to make the vaccination process easier. If you are a frontline worker, please bring proof of employment (such as an ID badge).
