Book your Flu Vaccine – support your GP Surgery

By getting your Flu vaccine at the surgery, you are helping to sustain essential services and support the NHS in delivering care to everyone.

Flu vaccines are being offered slightly later this year (from 3rd October) following clinical advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, that starting the flu campaign later would be better for patients. This is due to the positive effect of the flu vaccine – increasing people’s protection from flu viruses – reduces over time following the vaccination. Getting the vaccination at a slightly later time will make it more likely that the person’s immune response to the virus is higher when flu virus levels are at their highest!

If you are eligible for a flu vaccine, you will receive an invite from the surgery to book in.
