Flu Jab SOS

The NHS has now issued a “Flu Jab SOS” as fears grown that this winter could be
one of the worst seasons for a decade.

So:

Have you missed getting your flu jab?

If your eligible, then just pop to the surgery Monday to Friday 10am to 12pm or 2pm to 4pm and ask reception. One of the nurses can then see you.

Already have an appointment but not had the jab. Just ask the doctor or nurse if
they can do it right then for you.

If you declined previously but have since changed your mind, please just ask us.

We want as many of our patients and carers to be as safe as possible this Winter. Don’t leave it too late as our stock of vaccine is limited.
