Flu Vaccination Service

Every person can benefit from the protection offered by the flu vaccination. However, for children who are more vulnerable to complications when they have the flu, flu vaccination shots are a must.

Children can get a flu shot at any time of the year, but for the most effective protection, it’s best to get the flu shot right before the winter flu season starts.

At Pearl Chemist Group we’ve got you covered with our Flu Vaccination Service for this year’s flu season! Come into any of our South London branches for your child’s flu vaccination. We offer our Flu Vaccination Service in Earlsfield, Streatham, Wimbledon, Banstead, and Wandsworth.

Here’s what parents need to know about the flu vaccination for children.

Safe and effective vaccination against the flu

The flu shot is safe to take and will significantly reduce the risk of getting or spreading the flu in children and adults. Unlike many routine vaccines given in early childhood, flu shots have to be reformulated each year, as new variants of influenza circulate and mutate. For this reason, a flu shot should be taken every year at PCG for Flu Vaccination Services in Wimbledon or any of our other branches.

Benefits of Flu Shots for Children

If you are wondering if your child should get a flu shot. The answer is yes.

Children under the age of 2 are at a greater risk of severe flu complications. For kids, the flu is much more serious than the common cold. Millions of children get sick with the flu every year, many of whom are hospitalised, and some die due to complications.

The benefits of flu the vaccine in children include decreased flu infections, lost work school days, doctor visits, and the risk of flu-related hospitalisation and mortality in children. Flu jabs for children are as important as for adults. Kids 6 months and older can receive the flu shot. Visit PCG for Flu Vaccination Services in Streatham for people of all ages.

Common side effects of the flu vaccine in babies may include:

·         Pain at the injection site.

·         Headache.

·         Fever.

·         Nausea.

·         Muscle aches.
