Still need your Flu or Covid vaccine in Wellingborough?
Why wait to protect yourself? 3Q Pharmacy provides both an NHS and a private flu vaccine in Wellingborough to ensure you are protected against seasonal flu.
Why do I need the flu jab?
The flu vaccine offers you protection against the Influenza Virus. This vaccination provides the best possible protection against catching the flu. There is still a chance that you may contract the virus after having the jab, however it is likely to not last as long, as well as being a milder case. Moreover, having the flu vaccine will help you to protect those around you, as it will stop you from spreading it to those who may be more at risk from serious flu-related complications.
