Common questions.
A few helpful answers before your appointment.
Is this the same as the flu jab?
No. Pneumococcal vaccination is different from flu vaccination, though some people may be offered both as part of wider protection.
Can I have it if I feel under the weather?
If you are acutely unwell, it is usually better to wait. Ask the pharmacy team for advice on the day.
Will I need a booster?
That depends on the vaccine used and your clinical history. We will explain any follow-up advice during consultation.
