Important information: October flu and COVID-19 vaccination clinics open for reservations

 

Registered patients who are eligible for a flu vaccination are being invited to book their vaccine ahead of our October clinics.

Patients who are also eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination may be offered this during the same appointment.

Flu and COVID-19 viruses can change over time, and the protection provided by previous vaccinations can reduce. Having the vaccinations you are eligible for can help protect you from becoming seriously unwell this winter.
