Where can I get flu vaccination for a healthy 15 yo?

As my son has GCSEs this year, I'd like to get him the flu vaccine. He doesn't have any health conditions, so isn't eligible to get it on the NHS, and he's too young to get it from a pharmacy as they seem to have an 18+ policy. I'm guessing a private GP clinic might be the only option, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know anywhere local that does it? (Preferably Twickenham side of the borough if possible).

The website may say 18 , if it does it’s incorrect.

@makingmiracles sorry it’s 11 not 10. I sure why you would think it’s 18?

Private flu vaccination at Boots

If you’re not eligible for the free NHS flu jab, we offer a private Winter Flu Jab Service** for customers aged 16 and over in most Boots pharmacies across the UK. And this year, our private service is also available to customers from the age of 11 years, in selected stores.

I suspect you sorted this out but if not, they do them at Beth's Doctors in Richmond (opposite Waitrose).

Thanks, yes, we eventually got the vaccine from Herbert & Shrive on Kingston Road in Teddington (near Hampton Wick). It was very cheap, quick and easy and we didn't need an appointment - we just walked in and they did it straight away.
