For those who aren't eligible to get this free, this is cheaper than what other pharmacies are asking (usually around $30). Cheaper than getting it done by many GPs, too.
Book online using the link (it goes to the Australian site but it is for New Zealand). There are plenty of spots available.
Appointments are from 10AM to 6.50pm, 7 days a week, and are available at all of Chemist Warehouse's branches (Albany, Botany. Manukau, Westgate & St Lukes).
Countdown Pharmacies are advertising the jabs for $29, there's a bunch of them in Christchurch as well as nationwide: https://www.countdown.co.nz/shopping-made-easy/countdown-pha…
I think i'll try Countdown pharmacy this year saving $21 on the same thing is a no-brainer, thanks for the advice.
Cashmere Medical Practice says they charge $35 http://www.cashmeremedical.co.nz/?page_id=415
I imagine this sort of thing depends a lot on the cost structure of the clinic.
"Special Note: Please ensure that you arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your nominated booking time to allow for registration and screening."
what does this mean?
Well you make an appointment and they expect you to turn up 10 min earlier. (Which is fair I think)
Answer a questionnaire about about health issues you may have, medications you may be on etc.
hmm ok thanks
Yeah standard form are you allergic to X, pregnant, got a flu right now, had injection before, whose your GP, any preferred sexual positions etc. Takes 2 mins to fill in.
Greencross health allows you to do the consent form online https://www.greencrosshealthconsentonline.co.nz/influenzacon…
I assume Chemist Warehouse haven't yet developed something similar
Never had one. Never had the flu either.
Herd immunity.
Wait, I been getting charged $50 at my GP for years, have I been getting ripped off? $20 is a bargain!
I live in chch tho so probably has something to do with the cost. :(
