Speciality Vaccine Service Reading

Here at Newdays Pharmacy, we provide a full vaccination service to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including travel vaccines, workplace immunisations and speciality vaccines such as MMR and chickenpox.

As well as being the most effective way of preventing infectious diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, pneumonia, meningitis B and HPV, vaccinations are also essential when travelling abroad in certain high-risk countries and regions around the world.

Our vaccination service is available to anyone who wants a specialist vaccination quickly and with no fuss, ideal if you’re planning a big trip overseas, if you’re due to start a new job in the healthcare sector or similar, or if you’re about to start university or college and know that you’ve missed some childhood vaccinations.

How does the speciality vaccine service work?

Get in touch with the friendly and professional Newdays Pharmacy team to discuss what your plans are and what you might potentially need immunising against so that the most appropriate vaccine programme can be created.

When you arrive for your appointment, your pharmacist will ask you some brief questions about your overall health and wellbeing, including your medical history, any allergies, any medication you may already be on and your general health.

You will also be provided with more in-depth information about the vaccinations you’re due to receive. This is also the perfect opportunity to ask any questions you might have.

Once the pharmacist has determined that the vaccines are appropriate for you based on the answers you’ve provided, you will be administered the doses, usually in the upper arm. You may have to return to the pharmacy for a second and/or third dose, depending on the vaccine in question.
