Immunisations and Vaccinations from Glasgow Medical Rooms
We offer non-routine immunisations not included as part of the NHS childhood vaccination scheme. Immunisation helps protect against serious diseases. so please contact us for advice.
Flu jabs for individuals and companies across Scotland are available from Glasgow Medical Rooms. Flu season occurs from September to February each year, so it is worth considering flu vaccinations for your staff to minimise illness and absence. We are able to travel to companies to administer the flu vaccine, and we don’t consider any company to be “too small” to vaccinate. We are happy to discuss these requirements further, including corporate rates for services.
Pneumonia Vaccination
The pneumococcal vaccine protects against serious and potentially fatal pneumococcal infections. It’s also known as the pneumonia vaccine.
Pneumococcal infections are caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae and can lead to pneumonia, septicaemia (a kind of blood poisoning) and meningitis.
At their worst, they can cause permanent brain damage, or even kill.
HPV Vaccinations
The HPV vaccination is an important step towards preventing cervical cancer. The Gardasil HPV vaccine we provide protects against both cervical cancer and genital warts, so there are benefits for men receiving this vaccine too.
Meningitis B Vaccination

Chickenpox Vaccination
Chickenpox is a highly infectious disease, caused by the virus, Varicella Zoster. It mainly affects children under 10 years of age, where the risk of serious complications is not as high as in adults.
Rabies Vaccination
Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio are contained in a single combined vaccine. The vaccine is inactivated and contains dead bacteria or virus only and is highly effective at preventing the infections. Immunity does wane over time. Therefore, further vaccinations may be required. Separate vaccines against the diseases are not available in the UK. The Department of Health does not recommend the use of the oral polio vaccine due to the potential risks associated with this live vaccine.
Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccination
The vaccine is effective at preventing all three illnesses and can be given from 12 months of age during the standard UK childhood vaccine programme.
It is particularly important to check if you are vaccinated against MMR before travelling as the infection is prevalent in Asia, Africa and South America. Because the illness is easily transmitted through air, MMR immunity is necessary for certain jobs.
Whooping Cough Vaccine
The whooping cough (Pertussis) vaccination is only available as a combined inoculation in the UK (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis and Polio). It is an inactivated vaccination. The vaccination is normally administered as three doses at 2, 3 and 4 months of age during the standard UK childhood vaccine programme. A further dose is given with the pre-school boosters.
Immunity to whooping cough will decrease naturally over time, so re-infection can occur after vaccination. As immunity falls as a consequence of natural infection also, vaccination can be given to individuals who have had whooping cough infection at some time in the past.
