October saw the beginning of our flu clinics and we want to thank every patient that came to get vaccinated with us 😃

Each vaccine we give provides Captain French with funding to improve resources and equipment, therefore delivering a better overall experience for our patients.

We still have vaccines available, so please give us a call if you would like to get booked in.
