FAQ

 

When is the best time to get vaccinated?

The best time to get vaccinated is from the beginning of October to early November

 

How quickly does the flu jab take effect?

It can take between 2 to 3 weeks to become fully effective and be immunised from flu.

 

Should I get vaccinated against flu every year?

Yes, the virus that causes flu changes every year, so you should get vaccinated this year even if you had the flu vaccination last year.

 

I had the flu jab last year but still caught flu, why?

The flu vaccination is the best protection against the most common strains of flu. However, the vaccination does not protect against all the different viruses which can produce flu-like symptoms. Please remember, getting vaccinated significantly reduces your chances of getting flu. Also, as the flu vaccination takes up to two weeks to become fully effective, it is still possible to be affected by flu during this time.

 

Is the flu jab halal/kosher?

The adult flu vaccination is both halal and kosher. The children’s nasal spray vaccine has been approved as kosher by Rabbi Abraham Adler from the Kashrus and Medicines Information Service, who has advised the Government on kashrut issues. The Muslim Council of Britain has advice available on their website. If you have any questions please contact your GP or pharmacist who will be happy to discuss your options.
