Get Your NHS Flu Jab in Plaistow: Stay Protected
The winter season often brings an increase in influenza cases, which can lead to serious health complications. At our pharmacy, we make it simple and convenient for you to receive your NHS flu jab in Barking Road . Our professional team is dedicated to providing high-quality healthcare services to the E13 community, ensuring you stay healthy when the temperature drops.
The flu is more than just a heavy cold; it is a highly infectious virus that can affect anyone. However, for certain groups, the risks are significantly higher. Vaccination is the most effective way to protect yourself and those around you from spreading the virus.
Why Get a Flu Jab?
bThe NHS provides a free flu vaccine in Plaistow for individuals who are at a higher risk of developing complications from the virus. You may be eligible for a free vaccination at our pharmacy if:
- You are aged 65 or over.
- You are pregnant.
- You have certain long-term health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease).
- You are a frontline health or social care worker.
- You are the main carer for an older or disabled person.
If you do not fall into one of these categories, we also offer a very competitively priced private flu vaccination service to ensure everyone in the community can access protection.

Frequently Asked Question
Are there any side effects to the flu jab?
Most people only experience mild side effects, such as a sore arm at the injection site, a slight headache, or a mild fever. These usually disappear within 24 to 48 hours.
I live in Plaistow; do I need to book an appointment?
While we provide walk-in NHS flu jabs in Plaistow, booking is recommended during October and November to avoid a wait. You can call the pharmacy directly to check current availability.
Is the flu vaccine safe during pregnancy?
Yes, the flu vaccine is safe and highly recommended at any stage of pregnancy. It helps protect both the mother and the baby in the first few months of life.
Can the flu jab give me the flu?
No. The injected NHS flu vaccine does not contain any live viruses, so it is impossible to catch the flu from the jab itself.
How much does a private flu jab cost if I’m not eligible for the NHS version?
If you are not in an eligible group, we offer a private service for a small fee. Please speak to our pharmacy team in E13 for current pricing and to book your slot.
