Flu-Bus visiting Nantwich and Northwich

Well Pharmacy has announced plans for a second year for a touring flu-bus to visit Nantwich and Northwich, in a bid to protect the nation from the flu virus this winter.

A specially designed flu bus will be in Northwich Waitrose, CW9 5HD from Monday 10^th until Wednesday 12^th of October, and Nantwich Town Centre, CW5 5GA from Thursday 13^th until Saturday 15^th of October making flu jab services even more accessible to the local community and reduce health inequalities. There is no need to book online, residents can simply walk-in.  
 

The flu bus is a fully functioning mobile health clinic. Two pharmacists will be available on site to administer 200 jabs per day. They will also be offering other routine healthcare services, such as blood pressure checks. 

It follows on from the biggest NHS flu programme roll out in history in 2021. Last year, more than four in five (83.20%) of people aged 65 and over in England received their flu vaccine. 
 

Ifti Khan, Pharmacy Superintendent from Well Pharmacy, said: “We are seeing a high demand for our flu vaccination service, and we opened our appointment bookings earlier this year to ensure people could get their vaccination appointments firmly in their diary. There are still plenty of appointments available, and we encourage people to book online as soon as they can to protect themselves and their loved ones. The very high level of flu cases in Australia, and the surge in Covid-19 is a good indicator on what the UK can expect, and I would urge everyone who can to protect themselves and others by getting vaccinated. “ 

Well Pharmacy offers free flu jabs to those eligible on behalf of the NHS, for those who are not eligible for a free NHS flu jab Well offers the flu vaccination service for £15.
