Tesco pharmacies begin offering free winter flu jabs

Tesco pharmacies have begun offering free NHS winter flu jabs to the over 65s and other eligible groups today.

For those who do not qualify for the free service, the supermarket is offering a £13 Private Flu Jab Service to customers aged 12 years and over.

Appointments can be reserved through Tesco Pharmacy’s online booking system.

Adrian Price, Tesco superintendent pharmacist, said: “We want to make getting your jab as easy as doing the weekly shop. More than ever, it will be important to keep your family safe and well from flu. You will reduce the risk of catching flu and passing it on to older or more vulnerable family members.”

Last year Tesco launched its ‘Let’s Talk’ service where its pharmacists and pharmacy team members were trained by Cancer Research UK, British Heart Foundation and Diabetes UK.
