We will once again be starting our Flu Vaccinations from mid September. With the UK likely to follow the recent Australian experience with its winter period, then Flu in the UK is likely to be more severe than normal.
We would therefore encourage all eligible patients to obtain their FREE Flu Vaccination this Autumn.
We will be sending out texts to eligible patients as a Reminder
Saturday Morning ADULT ONLY Flu Vaccination Clinics
As last year we will be running 2 Saturday morning ADULT ONLY walk-in Flu Vaccination Clinics from 8.30am – 11.30am (time TBC):
- 14 September
- 28 September
We are not able to vaccinate eligible under 18s at these Clinics as the Child vaccinations are provided to us normally in October, and we will contact eligible patients near the time. School Children up to Year 6, will be offered a vaccination by the School Vaccination Programme.
The following are eligible for flu vaccination:
all children aged two to ten (but not eleven years or older) on 31 August 2019
those aged six months to under 65 years in clinical risk groups
pregnant women
those aged 65 years and over
those in long-stay residential care homes
carers
