Flu Vaccinations

2023/2024

WeST continues to support staff wellbeing and is pleased to offer staff access to flu jab vaccinations this winter. Last year we issued over 300 flu jab vaccination vouchers to staff members across the WeST network!

Following your feedback and market research, this year we have partnered with Doctorcall to deliver a limited number of flu vaccinations at participating pharmacies or on site at a specific WeST site. 

We are enhancing the NHS free flu vaccination by offering vaccines to staff who are not eligible via this pathway. These vaccinations are provided at no cost to staff members and we encourage all staff to take up the offer of a flu jab via one of these pathways:

To be used at one of the participating pharmacies (Found here: https://doctorcall.co.uk/pharmacy-finder). You are able to book an appointment at a time and location that suits you, pharmacies include Tesco, Day Lewis, +Well and Asda.
