Flu vaccination appointments - available to book

People sometimes think a bad cold is flu, but having flu can often be much worse than a cold and you may need to stay in bed for a few days. In the worst cases, flu can result in a stay in hospital, or even death. Some people are more susceptible to the effects of flu.

For them, it can increase the risk of developing more serious illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia, or can make existing conditions worse.

You should consider having the vaccine if you have any long-term health condition listed above, or you are:
aged 65 years or over
pregnant
children of a certain age
living in a residential or nursing home
the main carer of an older or disabled person
living with someone who has lowered immunity due to disease or treatment.

Give us a call today to book your vaccination appointment.
