You may have seen recent information about the MMRV vaccine and the national catch-up programme for children. While some children are eligible through the NHS, not everyone meets the criteria.

If your child is not eligible for the catch-up programme, we can still help. Our pharmacy offers chickenpox vaccination, giving parents peace of mind and helping protect children from what can sometimes be a very uncomfortable illness.

Chickenpox can lead to time off school, time off work for parents, and in some cases serious complications

The vaccination is a safe and effective way to reduce the risk.

Thinking of buying medication from unregulated sources? Think again.

It might look cheaper or more convenient, but the risks are real and potentially fatal.

🚫 Counterfeit ingredients: Medications bought from unverified sellers may contain the wrong ingredients, the wrong dose, or no active ingredient at all.
⚠️ Hidden contaminants: Without proper safety checks, products can be contaminated with harmful substances.
❌ No quality control: These sources don’t follow the strict standards required in regulated pharmacies, meaning there’s no guarantee of safety or effectiveness.
👩‍⚕️ Protect your health: Always purchase medication from licensed, reputable pharmacies. It’s the safest way to ensure you’re getting genuine, effective treatment.

Your health is worth more than a “too good to be true” deal. 💙
