Flu vaccination information

FLU VACCINES

We are now contacting those who are eligible. We are running a clinic on Saturday 22nd October for all adults over 50 and those aged 18-49 with certain underlying health conditions. Booking is available through the myGP app or via reception.

Flu viruses change every year so a new vaccine is prepared with current strains each year.  The vaccine is offered to patients who will be 65 by the end of the following March (born on or before 31/03/1958) and those aged 18 to 64 classed as higher risk.

If you are 50 to 64 with no underlying health conditions you are now able to book a flu vaccination as you are eligible from 15th October 2022.

If your child was aged 2 or 3 on 31st August 2022 they are eligible for a nasal flu vaccine. This is a nasal spray and does not involve needles. We will be in contact with the parents of eligible children in due course.

If you wish to have a flu jab, but are not eligible for  a free one please visit your local chemist.
