Influenza vaccinations
Sumner Pharmacy can provide FREE influenza vaccinations for eligible patients aged 13 and over. Eligible patients include people aged 65 and over, pregnant women and people with certain chronic conditions (such as heart disease, diabetes, asthma, etc). Contact Sumner Pharmacy for full details of eligibility criteria.
We are also able to provide privately funded influenza vaccinations to all adults over 13 years of age.
The flu spreads easily. Ideally, you should be vaccinated before the main influenza season in May to September.
Infection with the influenza virus can lead to a stay in hospital for any age group but particularly if you are elderly or have an ongoing medical condition.
By immunising against influenza, you can protect yourself and lessen the chance of bringing it home to a baby, older relative or someone with a medical condition who could develop serious complications from influenza.
Contact Sumner Pharmacy for more information about the range of vaccinations available to keep you and your family protected.
