We have almost completed our flu vaccination programme for patients aged over 65 and those with underlying health conditions.

We are now providing flu vaccinations to those healthy patients aged between 50 to 64. If you have not already been contacted please contact the surgery and we can arrange your appointment.

Flu vaccinations are offered to all patients aged 65 and over and for adults and children who have:

• Lung disease, including those with asthma who have had drug treatment within the past 3 years.
• Chronic heart disease.
• Chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, chronic neurological disease, people with suppressed immune system due to illness or treatment, diabetes.

We will be advertising the service during September each year and will contact those registered patients who fall into the categories mentioned. If you feel you should be offered a flu vaccine, please speak to a member of the reception team.

A full range of family planning services are available.

It is very important to make sure that children continue to be protected from infections such as measles, mumps and rubella. Immunisations are carried out by the practice nurse and reception can provide information regarding the correct age to administer different childhood immunisations. Make sure your child remains protected.
