We are running the Flu clinic almost every day. The clinic is different this year as it is an appointment walk through clinic when you will book the appointment the reception staff will explain to you.

Due to new Government advice, we will be vaccinating ALL patients between the ages of 50 – 64 however, please note that people in the 50-64-year old age group will not be vaccinated until November and December, providing there is sufficient vaccines, and no appointments will be offered for this age group until then. This is to ensure that those who are most at risk are vaccinated first.  If you are 50-64 and you are in one of the other groups, which is eligible for the flu vaccination and have been having flu vaccinations every year for example you have a health condition which puts you at risk from the flu, please make appointment for your flu vaccination.
