Flu Vaccine

The Flu Vaccine is available seasonally at Cobh Pharmacy.

The flu vaccine is safe and effective. It helps to protect you from flu. The best time to get the flu vaccine is before the flu season starts. It's available from September to April each year.

For adults, the flu vaccine is given as an injection into your arm.

Children get the flu vaccine as a spray into their nose (nasal spray). Please note, supply often runs out of this vaccine mid-December so early vaccination is recommended.
