Flu Vaccination

Protect yourself against flu – everyone over 65, health and care workers, carers, pregnant women and people with underlying health conditions can all book a free flu vaccine now.
Flu can be very serious. Like COVID-19, it is caused by a virus and it can lead to illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia, which may need treatment in hospital.
There are outbreaks of flu most winters. In a normal winter, thousands of people will die from flu-related illnesses in the UK.
This winter we may see COVID-19 and flu both circulating at the same time, so it’s very important to get protected.

Having a flu vaccine every year is one of the best ways to protect against flu. Flu vaccines are quick and very safe, and could prevent weeks of serious illness.

Please call the surgery to book your appointment with a Practice Nurse. 

RSV Vaccination

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of respiratory tract infections. For most adults and children, RSV causes a mild illness, such as a cough or cold, and usually gets better on its own. In a small number of older adults, particularly those with heart or lung disease or a weakened immune system, RSV infection can lead to serious health problems such as pneumonia (infection of the lungs) or even death.

We are offering RSV vaccination to those aged 75-79 years. Please contact the surgery to book an appointment with a Practice Nurse.
