Seasonal Flu vaccinations are available annually free of charge to the following patients:

    • all children aged 2 to 3 on 31 August 2022
    • all primary school aged children (from reception to Year 6)
    • anybody in clinical risk groups
    • pregnant women
    • those aged 50 years and over
    • those in long-stay residential care homes

      • registered domiciliary care provider
      • a voluntary managed hospice provider
      • Direct Payment (personal budgets) and/or Personal Health Budgets, such as Personal Assistants.

This list is not exhaustive and we may apply clinical judgement in offering the vaccine to take into account the risk of flu exacerbating a patient’s underlying disease as well as the risk of serious illness from flu itself.

We kindly ask you to avoid calling the practice for further information as we are currently experiencing a high volume of calls  which may prevent someone who requires urgent medical help from getting through to us. We will get in touch to offer you an appointment as soon as possible.

Please ensure your contact details including mobile numbers are up to date and you have registered with Online Services whenever possible.

This year's flu clinics are organised at Bridge Street Surgery.
