Before you book

What you need to know about the influenza vaccine

Who cannot be vaccinated

  • Anyone with a fever of 37.5°C or above, or a serious acute illness.
  • Anyone who has had anaphylaxis to a component of the influenza vaccine.
  • Children — this clinic vaccinates ages 16 and over only.

Tell the doctor if

  • You have had a severe allergic reaction to eggs or egg products. The vaccine is produced using embryonated hens' eggs.
  • You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or may be pregnant.
  • You have had convulsions, or felt unwell after a previous vaccination.
  • You take anticoagulants or bleed easily.

Side effects

  • Redness, swelling and pain at the injection site are the most common, in roughly 10–20% of people, usually settling in two to three days.
  • Fever, headache, tiredness and chills occur in roughly 5–10% of people and usually settle in two to three days.
  • Anaphylaxis is rare but possible, which is why you wait at the clinic after the injection. Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, convulsions and liver dysfunction have been reported very rarely.
  • Avoid vigorous exercise and heavy drinking on the day. A bath is fine.

About the effect

  • Antibodies develop over about two weeks and last roughly five months.
  • Vaccination is expected to reduce the chance of falling ill and of becoming seriously ill, but you can still catch influenza after being vaccinated.
  • This treatment is self-pay (自由診療). Japanese national health insurance does not apply, and the full amount is charged at the clinic.
  • Prices shown include consumption tax and are the prices at the time of writing. They can change without notice — the price confirmed at your consultation is the one that applies.

Coming as an English speaker

You can be seen here without speaking Japanese. Consultations are handled with a translation app and written notes rather than by an English-speaking doctor, which works well for something as straightforward as a vaccination and is slower where you have a complicated history to explain. Treatment information, pricing and access details on these pages are in English. The booking system and the pre-visit questionnaire are in Japanese, and LINE enquiries are answered in Japanese or English.
