Flu isn't just a sniffle - it can lead to serious illness, especially in young children. Kids are known as 'super spreaders🦠' - they catch and pass on flu easily, often bringing it home to grandparents or younger siblings.
🛡The good news? The NHS flu vaccine is free, quick and needle-free (just a nasal spray!)
✅For 2 & 3 year olds - We have a nasal flu clinic on Saturday 22nd November contact us to book!
✅For school-aged children - return the school consent form ASAP.
🧑Protect your child.👴Protect your family. 💙Protect Cornwall.

Following our first successful Flu & COVID Clinic this past Saturday – thank you to everyone who attended! 💉👏

We did experience some longer than expected queues, and to help things run more smoothly going forward, we kindly ask all patients to arrive at their scheduled appointment time, not earlier, and to utilise both car parks.

Arriving early can cause congestion in the car parks and longer waiting times for everyone. Your cooperation helps us keep things flowing efficiently and safely for all.

Thank you for your understanding.
