Private Flu Jab needed for 13 yr old in London or Herts - any ideas?

My DD has been refused the jab, not being in the at risk group. However I would like to pay to get her immunized because

  1. she always goes down with colds etc in the winter (her 2 sisters are not so prone to this)
  2. this winter she is under a lot of pressure with auditions, coming up in Jan.

I paid for a flu jab for myself recently at my local Boots branch (I was down with swine flu or similar last Christmas and was out of action for FOUR WEEKS - i thought i was dying! Christmas was cancelled and I want to do what I can to avoid that happening again). However, they told me they wouldn't vaccinate anyone under 16 (or maybe 18 - can't quite remember).

I have searched through old threads and see that some people have recommended Medicentre (various branches in London). I was hoping there might be somewhere in the West End ...Medicentre's Oxford St branch is closed ATM - and would like to know if anyone has any thoughts.
TIA

Direct Remedies are based in West London - Sunbury and Isleworth and I think they may do roaming clinic's at other locations. They have a website and also a telephone number: 08451304595. They have immunised my DS for the last couple of years. It cost about £35 I think. HTH
