Common Questions About the Flu Jab in Neath

What infection control precautions are in place?

Your safety is our top priority. We follow the latest NHS infection control guidance and also use a Raybotix disinfection robot to clean the air and surfaces in our pharmacy – giving you extra peace of mind.

Does the flu vaccine work?

Yes – the flu jab is proven to reduce the risk of serious illness. Find out more in our blog

Does a Flu Jab hurt?

Not really! The term “jab” can sound scarier than it is. Most people feel nothing at all, or just a quick scratch.
We gently place the vaccine into the upper arm muscle for best effect and minimal discomfort. If you’re right- or left-handed, just let us know – we’ll use the opposite arm to make it easier for you.
