Flu Jab FAQs
When is the best time to get a flu jab?
The best time is in autumn (September to November) before flu starts circulating. However, it's not too late to get vaccinated later in winter — protection starts within 2 weeks of vaccination.
Can I get a flu jab without seeing my GP?
Yes! You don't need a GP referral or prescription. Simply walk into Pulteney Pharmacy in Bath or book an appointment online. Our pharmacists are fully qualified to administer flu vaccinations.
What is the difference between cell-based and egg-based flu vaccines?
Cell-based flu vaccines are grown in animal cells rather than eggs, which means they more closely match circulating flu strains and may provide better protection. They're also suitable for people with egg allergies.
Are there any side effects from the flu jab?
Side effects are usually mild and short-lived, such as soreness at the injection site, mild headache, or slight temperature. Serious side effects are very rare. You cannot catch flu from the flu vaccine.
