Flu, COVID-19 and RSV — still time, still one visit.

November is when this stops being something to get round to. All three are circulating now, and the point of getting vaccinated is to be covered before you meet them, not during.

Available at all 20 pharmacies. COVID-19 vaccination from age 12. NHS and private appointments, depending on what you are eligible for — ask and we will tell you which applies to you.

Employers: we also run mobile flu clinics at your workplace. One message and we handle the logistics.

Six things a man can get checked without going anywhere near a GP appointment.

Five of them are at our blood clinic, which runs at three branches — Boyatt, Falkland and Park:

Testosterone · Cholesterol profile · Diabetes profile · Well Man Premier profile · Male hormone profile

It's one short appointment, and your results are emailed over within 72 hours of it.

The sixth you can have at any of our 20 branches: a blood pressure check. That one is minutes at the counter, with a conversation about what the number actually means, and it's free on the NHS if you're 40 or over.

No referral for any of it. Book the clinic online, or just ask at the counter for the blood pressure check.

Save it and book one thing. One is better than none.

Fifteen minutes, and you will know.

Tired all the time? Low energy, low libido, mood all over the place? Those have a dozen possible explanations, and testosterone is one of the straightforward ones to rule out.

Three things to know before you book:

It has to be a morning appointment, because levels shift through the day and an afternoon reading tells you less.

You need to fast for eight hours beforehand. Water is fine.

It runs at two branches only — Boyatt Pharmacy and Park Pharmacy, which is Eastleigh and Chandlers Ford — Monday to Friday, before 11am.

That is it. Fifteen minutes and a blood test.

Movember isn't really about the moustache.

It's a global campaign running all month, raising money and awareness for three things men don't talk about enough:

Mental health and su***de prevention. Prostate cancer. Testicular cancer.

The moustache is just the conversation starter — something visible enough that someone has to ask about it. Movember's Move challenge is 60km across the month, one kilometre for each of the 60 men lost to su***de every hour, worldwide.

We're a pharmacy. We see men every week who have been putting something off for months, sometimes years, and almost never because they didn't care. If a moustache gets one of them talking, it has done its job.

"I had the flu jab and still got flu."

We hear this every year, so let's deal with it properly. Three things are usually going on.

One — it takes 10 to 14 days to build protection. Plenty of people catch something in that window and conclude the jab failed.

Two — a lot of what gets called flu is a heavy cold. The jab was never going to touch it.

Three, and this is the one that matters — the jab lowers your risk. It doesn't make you bulletproof. Last season UKHSA found it cut the risk of being hospitalised with flu by 68% in children aged 2 to 17, and by 29% in adults over 65.

Not perfect. But if you're 80, taking roughly a third off your chance of ending up on a ward is a good trade.

Worth knowing this week: flu admissions have now climbed past the baseline range for this point in the season, and they're highest by far in the over-85s.

Eligible? It's free on the NHS at all our branches. Not sure whether you are — ask us, we'll check.

Figures: UKHSA, week ending 25 Oct 2026.

Every autumn we get the same question, so here it is in one place.

If you’re in any of these groups your flu jab is free on the NHS — you don’t need to pay and you don’t need a GP referral.

If you’re not on the list you can still have one with us privately. Either way, come in and we’ll check your eligibility and whether it’s suitable for you.

All 20 branches have it in stock now.

Full eligibility detail is on the NHS website.

Save this one. People call almost anything flu, and the difference actually matters this year, because flu is circulating earlier than it has in the last four seasons.

The short version: a cold builds over a couple of days and lets you carry on. Flu lands in a few hours, usually with a fever and aching everywhere, and stops you. If you’re in an eligible group your flu jab is free on the NHS, and it takes about two weeks to build protection — so earlier is better. Pop into your local branch.

Most adults who get flu this winter will be fine. That is exactly why it moves so well.

The current rise is being driven by people aged 15 to 44 — the group most likely to push through a bad week and keep seeing everyone as normal. Meanwhile the over-85s are being admitted to hospital at the highest rate of any age group this season.

You can’t always control what you catch. You can do something about what you hand on. If you’re eligible, the flu jab is free on the NHS and we have it at all branches.

Figures: UKHSA, week ending 18 Oct 2026.

Flu usually gets going in December. Not this year...

Since late August, flu has been testing positive at higher rates than at this point in any of the last four seasons, and the early wave started with younger adults who mostly recover quickly and carry on as normal.

The risk sits further down the family. Hospital admissions this season are highest in the over-85s. If you’re eligible, your flu jab is free on the NHS and available now at all of our branches.

If you have just been given a new medicine, you may be entitled to a free appointment you have never been offered.

It is called the New Medicine Service, it is free on the NHS, and it exists for exactly the moment when you have walked out of the surgery holding something new and slightly baffling.

It applies to a first prescription for a new medicine for any of these:

Asthma · COPD and other lung conditions · Type 2 diabetes · High blood pressure · High cholesterol · Osteoporosis · Gout · Glaucoma · Heart failure · Coronary heart disease · Atrial fibrillation · Blood-clotting control

What you get is time. A pharmacist goes through what the medicine actually does, sorts out any problems you are already having with it, answers the questions you did not think of in the appointment, and checks there is not an easier way to take it.

It can mean fewer trips back to the GP or hospital later on.

Ask when you next collect. That is all it takes.
