💜 A very special thank you!

I’d also like to say a huge thank you to my wonderful team of helpers who have worked alongside me at the Globe Hotel, and to all the staff back at the pharmacy who have kept everything running smoothly while we’ve been busy with the clinics.

These clinics really are a team effort, and I couldn’t do it without them. Their hard work, dedication and good humour have helped make our vaccination clinics such a success yet again this year, and I’m incredibly grateful to every one of them.

And, of course, a big thank you to everyone who has come along to see us over the past few weeks. It’s been lovely to see so many familiar faces, and we really appreciate your continued support.

📸 Calling all Cockermouth photographers!

We’re currently working on a brand-new website for Allison’s Chemist, and we’d love to give it a really personal, local feel.

Cockermouth is such a beautiful town, and we know there are some wonderful photographers out there, both amateur and professional!

We’re looking for lovely, individual photographs of Cockermouth and the surrounding area. Whether it’s a familiar street, a local landmark, a beautiful view or simply a little corner of town that you love, we’d be delighted to see it.

A special thank you to Trevor Earthy, who has already very kindly shared some fantastic photographs with us, a couple of which we’re looking forward to featuring on our new website.

If you have any photographs you’ve taken that you’d be happy for us to use, please email them to:

📧 [email protected]

Please include your name and confirm you’re happy for us to feature your photographs on our website. We’d also be delighted to credit you for your work.

Proudly independent. Proudly Cockermouth.

We’d love our new website to reflect the town and community we’re so proud to be part of.

Thank you, as always, for your support!

💉 LAST WALK-IN FLU & COVID VACCINATION CLINICS AT THE GLOBE HOTEL

We’re now approaching the end of our walk-in vaccination clinics at the Globe Hotel, Cockermouth.

Our final two walk-in clinics will take place next week:

📅 Monday 19th October
🕙 10am – 1pm

📅 Thursday 22nd October
🕙 10am – 1pm

✅ No appointment necessary
✅ NHS flu and COVID vaccinations for eligible patients
✅ Convenient walk-in service

If you’re still planning to have your flu or COVID vaccination, we strongly recommend coming along to one of these final sessions.

After Thursday 22nd October, we’ll be returning to our normal pharmacy routine at Allison’s Chemist.

💉 COVID vaccinations will still be available, but you’ll need to book an appointment through the NHS National Booking Service.

💉 Flu vaccinations will continue to be available at the pharmacy where we can fit them around our routine appointments, but availability will be more limited.

We’ve been delighted to welcome so many patients to our clinics this autumn, and we’d like to thank everyone who has visited us.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post, particularly with anyone who hasn’t yet had their vaccination.

💉 FLU & COVID VACCINATIONS – OUR FINAL WALK-IN CLINICS AT THE GLOBE HOTEL! 🍂

If you’ve been meaning to get your flu or COVID vaccination but haven’t quite got around to it yet, now is a great time to get it done!

We’re approaching the end of our walk-in clinics at the Globe Hotel in Cockermouth, and we have just FOUR DATES REMAINING:

📅 Wednesday 14th October – 10am–4pm
📅 Thursday 15th October – 10am–4pm
📅 Monday 19th October – 10am–1pm
📅 Thursday 22nd October – 10am–1pm

✅ No appointment necessary
✅ Just turn up during clinic hours
✅ NHS and private vaccination services available, subject to eligibility

Why are these our final walk-in clinics?

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been delighted to welcome so many people through the doors at the Globe Hotel.

As we move towards the end of October, demand naturally begins to slow down, and our team also needs to return to our regular pharmacy services and other commitments.

So, if you’d prefer the convenience of simply walking in without having to arrange an appointment, we really would encourage you to take advantage of these remaining dates.

💜 What happens after 22nd October?

We’ll still be offering vaccinations at Allison’s Chemist, but arrangements will be a little different:

💉 COVID vaccinations will need to be booked in advance through the NHS National Booking Service, with appointments taking place at the pharmacy.

💉 Flu vaccinations will continue to be available at the pharmacy, either alongside your booked COVID vaccination or between our other appointments when capacity allows.

Our message is simple: if you’re eligible and haven’t had your vaccinations yet, don’t put them off!

We’d love to see you at the Globe over the next couple of weeks while our convenient walk-in service is still running.

Please feel free to share this post with friends, family and neighbours who might still need their vaccinations. ❤️
