Flu Clinics

PATIENT NOTICE

Seasonal Flu Vaccinations

As some of you may be aware we are having difficulties with vaccine deliveries

This is through no fault of our own and although we are informed that there will be adequate availability
the delivery dates from suppliers are being phased

Because of this we are prioritising as per NHS England guidelines:

 Patients 75yrs and over;
 Care home residents
 65ys – 74 yrs

We do however, have ample vaccines for those
patients in the ‘at risk’ groups aged 18 – 64

Our next flu clinic is on Saturday 27th October, 8.15am – 11.45am
