📢 Community vaccination clinics

The Immunisation team will be out in the community offering:
✅ RSV vaccine for those aged 75–79
✅ MMR vaccine for anyone who is missing a dose
✅ Other routine childhood vaccinations will also be available

🧾 Why it matters:
• RSV can cause serious illness in older adults.
• MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) is on the rise again — it spreads easily in places like university, work, and social events. Two doses give you the best protection and help stop outbreaks.

☎️ Our team will also be calling patients directly to invite them — these calls are genuine, not a scam.

💪 Stay protected. Protect others. Get your vaccines.

The Common Ailments Service covers 26 conditions and is available at ALL community pharmacies across Swansea Bay.

Pharmacists can offer free over-the-counter treatments for a number of ailments without the need to see a doctor first.

You just have to register with the pharmacy to be able to use the service, which just takes a few minutes.

The 26 ailments covered are: acne, athlete’s foot, back pain, chickenpox, cold sores, colic, conjunctivitis, constipation, diarrhoea, dry eyes, dermatitis, haemorrhoids, hay fever, head lice, indigestion, in-growing toenails, ringworm, mouth ulcers, nappy rash, oral thrush, scabies, sore throat/tonsillitis, teething, threadworms, vaginal thrush, and verruca.

Each community pharmacy has a private room where the consultations are held.

During the consultation, the pharmacist will discuss your symptoms with you and decide whether it would be best to offer advice only, treatment or refer you to a doctor.

There’s no need to make an appointment beforehand, you can visit your local pharmacy to discuss their availability on the day. You may be asked to call back at a more appropriate time or directed to a neighbouring pharmacy.

You can find more information about the Common Ailments Service on our website: https://sbuhb.nhs.wales/community-primary-care/primary-care/pharmacists/
