About this service at Whitmore Pharmacy - Basildon

Influenza (flu) is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by flu viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. While mild for many, flu can cause severe complications, hospitalization, and mortality in vulnerable individuals, including elderly adults, pregnant women, and people with underlying health conditions. The seasonal NHS Flu Vaccination Programme provides free protection each autumn/winter using the latest quadrivalent vaccines recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UK Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The vaccine stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies against the four viral strains predicted to circulate during the winter season. Immunity develops within 10 to 14 days of vaccination.
