The practice has an annual programme for seasonal influenza vaccinations which ordinarily start in the autumn and run throughout the winter.
The flu jab is offered to people who are at greater risk of developing serious complications from flu. To stay protected, they need to have it every year.
It is usually recommended you have a flu jab if you:
- are 50 or over
- have a serious medical condition such as chronic chest problems, chronic heart, liver or kidney disease
- are immuno-suppressed
- are diabetic
- are pregnant
- live in a residential or nursing home
- are the main Carer for an elderly or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if you fall ill
- are a healthcare or social care professional directly involved in patient care
The flu clinics are usually by appointment only. We do not ordinarily run drop-in clinics.
