How do I get a 14 year old vaccinated against flu?

She is not of primary school age.
She does not have a preexisting medical condition. GP would not be persuaded.
The chemists are not licensed to give the vaccine ( despite saying I would pay) to the u see 18s.
She missed a week and a half of school and was really ill.
What do I do next year?

Superdrug appears to do all ages (£10 each) but disclaimer - i haven’t actually used this service so can’t confirm.

Superdrug does advertise that selected stores offer it from a younger age

It's really difficult. My son has a pre-existing condition which makes flu really dangerous for him but unfortunately our GP never gets in the nasal spray for secondary school age at risk children. I paid a private GP to give him the injection but they were reluctant to do that. Some Boots do the nasal spray but you have to call the store and book.
