Flu and COVID can both cause serious illness, especially in older people and those with long‑term conditions. The best protection is to have your vaccines this autumn.
We are offering:
- NHS flu vaccines for eligible adults (including those aged 65+, people with certain long‑term conditions, pregnant women, carers and others in JCVI‑recommended groups).
- NHS COVID vaccines for eligible patients, in line with national guidance. Those aged 75+, people with certain help conditions and all those who are resident in a Care Home.
Where possible, and when clinically appropriate, we will offer flu and COVID vaccines at the same appointment.
How to book
- We will contact eligible patients by text or phone to invite you to book.
- From 14th September (please do not contact us before). You can also contact the surgery or use the NHS App / National Booking Service (if available – we will confirm shortly) to arrange an appointment.
- Clinics will run in October, predominantly on Saturdays, to minimise disruption to our weekday nursing appointments, which are in high demand currently.
On the day
- Please wear loose clothing so we can easily access your upper arm.
- You will be given information about the vaccines and have the chance to ask questions before you decide.
- If you have had a serious allergic reaction to a vaccine before, please tell the clinician.
If you think you may be eligible but have not heard from us, please check the NHS website or contact the surgery to ask about flu and COVID vaccination.
Please regularly check our social media and website for updates.
