Flu vaccination at pharmacies in Malta
A seasonal flu jab is one of the most common services at Maltese pharmacies, typically from autumn onwards. Many pharmacists are trained to vaccinate on the spot, by appointment or walk-in. Here's what to know and how to find one near you.
When is flu vaccination available?
Flu vaccines are offered seasonally, usually from autumn into winter. Supply and timing vary year to year, so it’s worth calling the pharmacy to check availability.
Do I need to book?
Some pharmacies vaccinate walk-in; others prefer an appointment, especially during busy periods. If the pharmacy is on mypharmacy.mt you may be able to book online.
Who should consider it?
The flu jab is often recommended for older adults, people with long-term conditions, pregnant women and carers — but your pharmacist or doctor can advise what’s right for you. Use the pharmacy finder to find a pharmacy offering vaccinations near you.
