Flu Jabs and Adult Vaccinations
Flu injections are available from
October every year for those
considered at risk.
The World Health
Organisation recommends flu
vaccination for all patients 65 and
over and those patients with chest,
heart or kidney conditions, those
who are immuno-compromised because
of chemotherapy, HIV infection or
spleen removal. The same group of
patients are also advised to have a
vaccine against pneumonia.
Every
October we run a special Saturday
morning clinic to vaccinate all our
at risk patients. Please ask
reception for details. If you think
you need a booster for any other
vaccines please make an appointment
to discuss this with the practice
nurse.
