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.

⚠️update - the issue has been traced back to failed BT routers which is “causing mayhem” across the NHS Highland network…we will let everyone know as soon as this is fixed. In the meantime, all prescriptions received are made up and ready for collection.

‼️ 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.

We will advise when this issue is rectified.
