Autumn Flu Clinics 2023

 

Adult Flu Vaccinations

The Practice is pleased to announce our autumn flu clinics will begin soon and appointment booking will shortly be available. The flu vaccination is available for patients who are 65 years of age or those who will turn 65 years of age before 31st March 2024. Patients aged 18 to 64 who are in a clinically ‘at-risk’ group are eligible as well as those who are pregnant, carers or health and socialcare workers.

If you do not want the flu vaccination this year then select the 'I do not want this' option on the appointment invitation link to decline future invites for this flu season. If you have not received an appointment invitation link and you wish to decline the flu vaccine, please let a member of the Reception team know.

Child Flu Vaccinations

In addition to offering flu vaccinations to eligible patients over the age of 18, we will be holding child flu clinics.

The flu vaccination is recommended to help protect children against flu. Vaccinating your child will protect more vulnerable friends and family by preventing the spread of flu. If you have a child between the ages of 2 and 3, you will be invited to make an appointment for your child using our designated flu vaccination telephone line by calling the practice on 01722 336441 between 9.30am - 1.30pm and selecting option 1.

At the appointment your child will be assessed by a member of our Nursing team to confirm the most suitable vaccine when they come to the practice. For most children the vaccination is given as a nasal spray which is a quick and painless spray up the nose.
