Flu vaccines still available at Bute Pharmacy.

If you’re not eligible for the NHS flu jab this year but still want protected, we can help. We have around 15 flu vaccines left for anyone still looking to get protected this winter.

We’re offering private flu vaccinations in the pharmacy for £20. It’s quick, done by a pharmacist, and saves you having to travel off the island.

Just pop in, give us a call, or message the page and we’ll get you booked in.

‼️ Please note that there are currently technical issues with our text message service which we are working to fix. ‼️

Messages since late yesterday have sent fine from our side, but seem to have failed to be delivered by the NHS servers.

All prescriptions however are made up and ready for collection to date.

Notice to customers:

We received a few reports today from customers that our website was down. On further investigation it had
indeed gone offline.

The issue has been resolved and you can now continue to order prescriptions/book appointments as normal.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
