As the flu season approaches, it is crucial to protect yourself and your loved ones by getting a flu vaccination. The flu vaccine is a safe and effective way to reduce the risk of getting the flu and its complications.
Invitations for winter vaccinations have been sent via text message, containing a safe link for booking your appointment for the correct age group and eligibility group. We kindly ask that you use this link rather than phoning us, to help manage our phone lines efficiently.
Clinics are available throughout October and November.
For those unable to book through the text link please call the surgery during the afternoons. Additionally, please check your NHS app, as your booking link may appear there as well.
