Flu Jab Service
Protect yourself and those around you this winter with a flu jab vaccine at Periville Pharmacy. Our team provides quick and reliable flu vaccinations across Grimsby, Laceby, Keelby, Great Coates, and Healing – helping you stay healthy through flu season.

What Is the Flu Jab?
- Adults usually receive the vaccine as an injection.
- Children are often given the nasal spray version.
While the vaccine cannot protect against every strain, it significantly lowers your risk of severe illness. If you do catch the flu, symptoms are likely to be milder and recovery faster than if you were unvaccinated.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
- A quick and simple flu jab administered by a trained pharmacist.
- A check of your eligibility for the NHS flu vaccine or a discussion of private options.
- The appointment takes only a few minutes.
- Advice on what to expect afterwards and when to seek further care if needed.
Most people only experience mild side effects such as a sore arm or slight temperature, which pass within a day or two.
