Superdrug flu vaccination clinics take to the road

Superdrug estimates that it will vaccinate over 3,000 people against influenza in the next few weeks.

As well as holding flu clinics in its pharmacies across the UK, the company is using a double decker bus as a mobile flu clinic. Customers visiting the mobile clinic, which is staffed by a pharmacist and a doctor, will be offered winter health advice and given a flu vaccination on request.

Each injection costs £15 and will be administered after patients have completed a questionnaire about their medical history.
