Summer is over and flu season is coming. Flu vaccine days for those patients in at risk groups will be held on October 27th and November 10th. On October 27th the flu clinic will be held from 8am to 12.30pm and from 2pm to 6pm.On 10th November the clinic will be held from 2pm to 6pm. No appointment is needed. As it will be a very busy day we ask all patients who can to park elsewhere as we will be limiting car parking at the surgery on that day to those who are disabled.

Patients over the age of 65 and those in at risk groups who have not already had pneumococcal vaccination will be offered it at the same time as the flu jabs. For more information read the following patient information leaflet on Pneumococcal Vaccination
