We have just finished the first Covid & RSV vaccination clinic of the Spring in Raglan. We vaccinated 401 patients with either Covid, RSV or both

Sadly 189 patients failed to attend their appointment. If you are not able to make the appointment given or you wish to decline the vaccinations please let us know in advance.

We have to invite patients up to 3 times for their spring vaccinations. If they decline in advance this saves the practice a lot of time and money.

Remaining clinics:
25th and 26th of April and 9th of May - all in Monnow Vale.

Thank you to those who attended.

We have received several queries in the last couple of days about the Men B vaccination. Currently we only vaccinate under 2's as part of the routine screening/vaccination.

Meningitis can be caused by several different type of meningitis bacteria, so several vaccinations offer some protection against it.

It seems that all of our posts start with “There’s a long way to go…”. It does feel that it’s starting to come together now though. The walls are back up and the new floor is being put down next week.
