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.
How do I book my NHS vaccination at your pharmacy in E13?
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.
What are the common side effects of the autumn boosters?
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.
Is there a charge for these vaccinations?
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.
What should I bring to my appointment?
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).
