Thanks for all replies. Definitely can’t get it in Essex unless in hospital. Boots app inform that I can buy it and it’s a different one to the Nhs one which is a bit strange. I was unaware that it lasted 10 years so I’ll ask at Boots today. Thanks again
This is the second year Boots is doing this - see website
'The new vaccine will cost £70 and is available in 51 Boots stores from January 23, 2017. Meanwhile, if you're 65+ or suffer from a long-term health condition don't forget you're eligible for the vaccination on the NHS. '. As far as i know, no vaccine protects from all types of pneumonia, i am unsure re the details, but, as i have never had a vaccination i was looking into it. it seems that "Two different pneumococcal vaccines are available in the market: polysaccharide vaccines (PPVs) and conjugate vaccines (PCVs) [
11]." i am still trying to find out more, if anyone knows more, or knows which Boots is offering, please help
