Flu Campaign – Winter 2025
We are currently offering the winter flu vaccination to all of our pregnant ladies, children, patients over the age of 65, and anyone under the age of 65 who meets the criteria listed below.
If you would like to have the vaccination then please contact the reception team. We have a number of clinics available throughout the week, and also have a clinic on Saturday the 11th of October. You may have also already received a message from us with a link that allows you to book your own appointment online if you prefer this method.
