Benefits of the Flu Vaccine
The flu is more than just a cold. Even people who are young and fit can become seriously ill from the flu. For older people and those with long-term health conditions, the flu can be very dangerous. That’s why it is recommended that everyone aged 2 and older get the flu jab if they are safe to do so.
The flu is a respiratory virus that can last for weeks and can’t be treated with antibiotics. Most people who get it will feel better within a week or so without any problems, but others may develop more serious complications like pneumonia and cardiac conditions.

Experiences That Speak for Themselves
Excellent pharmacy with great supportive pharmacists. Really caring team and very quick to react and provide best care and service possible.
Matt Brown
Raj and the team provide such an excellent service to the community. I find the staff super helpful, really efficient and Raj was amazing recently when my daughter had to obtain emergency medicine. Keep it up!
Karen Bingham
Raj the pharmacist runs a service of excellence and care to his local community. He and his team go above and beyond and know their community. The standard has always been exemplary. Would be such a tragedy to lose all of this to something impersonal and generic. A lot would fall through the cracks for the public. Let’s value the good we have.

I’ve been using Alisha pharmacy for 20 years now. I have other pharmacies nearer to my home, but I always use Alisha because Raj and all the rest of the team there are so friendly, professional, knowledgeable, informative and helpful. They obviously really care about what they do. A local gem.
