How to book

RSV vaccinations

Unfortunately, we do not offer NHS RSV vaccinations. If you are eligible, please contact your GP surgery or check the NHS website for local availability. We do offer RSV vaccination privately if you would prefer not to wait.

Not eligible on the NHS?

If you fall outside the NHS groups above but would still like protection, we offer private flu and COVID-19 vaccinations — see our private vaccines price list or read more about private vaccinations at Chudleigh Pharmacy.

Get your winter protection sorted and book your appointment. Please share with friends, family and anyone locally who may be eligible.
