It’s that time of year again already!

If you book your flu vaccine with us, we can also check that you are up to date with all of the other vaccines you may be eligible for.
The flu vaccination programme starts in October for all eligible adults, except pregnant women and children, who will be offered the vaccination from late September.

Pregnant women are vaccinated to protect both mum and baby in first few weeks of life. Children get flu earlier than adults as they are “super spreaders”.

Our Booking invites have been sent via text message if you haven't yet booked, please do contact us to make an appointment as our clinics are getting full

We have a planned evening clinic on Wednesday 1st October & Thursday 9th October for all eligible patients
If you don't meet the NHS criteria for a flu vaccine, then you can pay privately in a Pharmacy on a Monday, Thursday & Friday

Find out about the flu vaccine for adults, including who should have it, how to get it and side effects.

We will be closed from 1pm on Thursday, 18th September for regional protected learning time. We will therefore only have appointments in the morning.

Our Pharmacy will remain open
Thank you
