Question 8

Influenza (Flu) - £68.50

Accepted Answer

Vaccination: Influenza (Flu)

The flu can be very serious for many people and can make you feel quite unwell.

We are able to offer vaccines to people who might not qualify for a flu vaccine through the NHS scheme.

The new Meningitis ACWY vaccines are licensed in the UK for use in the prevention of serious strains of meningitis.

Young people starting university or college this autumn are being urged to get a vaccine against meningitis.
