How quickly does the flu vaccine start working?

After getting the flu vaccine, it can take your body up to a couple of weeks to build up immunity against the virus. This is why it’s important to get vaccinated before peak flu season to give yourself and others the best protection.

If you’re eligible, you’ll receive a text message with booking instructions.

Thank you for helping us create a safe winter environment for everyone.

‘I can catch flu from the flu vaccine’

You cannot catch flu from the flu vaccine. The vaccine is created from an inactive version of the virus to help your body build immunity. Some people may experience mild side effects such as a temperature or muscle aches but this is not the flu.

If you’re eligible to receive the flu vaccine, you will receive a text message from us with booking instructions.

Thank you for helping us create a safe winter environment.
