This year, getting the flu vaccine is more important than ever! Cadham Pharmacy is providing this vital vaccination service for Glenrothes and the surrounding area.
The flu vaccine is a vaccination against the Influenza Virus. Most people receive this vaccination as an injection or jab. But children receive the vaccination in the form of a nasal spray.
The flu vaccine is the best protection against catching the flu. It is possible to catch a strain of flu virus that wasn’t included in the vaccine. However, if you do, you’re still provided with some protection and will probably recover more quickly from than if you hadn’t had the vaccine.
You can get the Flu Vaccine in Glenrothes by visiting us at Cadham Pharmacy! We encourage everyone who can to get the flu vaccine in 2020.
For 2020, it’s strongly recommended that everyone gets vaccinated if they can – especially if you were shielding during the coronavirus lockdown.
Having the jab will help protect you from catching and spreading the flu. It will also help prevent you from infecting other people in your family as well as helping to reduce the strain on the NHS during flu season.
Plus, it’s ok to have the flu jab when pregnant or if you’re taking antibiotics.
Most people can have a flu vaccine. However, there are a couple of exceptions:
The flu vaccine is free for people in high-risk groups. You qualify for a free vaccine if you are in one of the following categories:
Your pharmacist will check if you qualify for a flu vaccination on the NHS. If you don’t qualify for a free injection, you can still have the jab privately. Getting your Flu Vaccine directly from your pharmacist will save you time and will be a more convenient process.
The best time to have the vaccination is from early October to the end of November. This is the ideal time but you can have it later during the winter.
The flu vaccine is a safe and effective method of fighting the flu. If you experience any flu jab side effects, they are likely to be mild. Side effects include:
Some people also lose their appetite following the flu jab. Serious side effects of the injected flu vaccine are very rare.
