Flu Vaccination Clinics *NOW BOOKING*

The practice offers flu vaccinations every year, available on the NHS to help protect adults & children at risk of flu and its complications throughout the Autumn & Winter months. Flu can be unpleasant, but if you are otherwise healthy it will usually clear up on its own within a week. However, flu can be more severe in certain people, such as anyone aged 65 and over, pregnant women & children and adults with an underlying health condition or weakened immune systems.

For 2018, there are 3 different types of flu vaccine and because of this, the practice is offering separate clinics for patients aged 65 and over, those eligible patients aged 18 to 65, and children aged 18 and under.

For those aged 65 and over, we are offering two clinics:
