Annual Flu Jab and RSV Vaccination Clinics
Our annual flu jab programme has now come to a close and the national programme has also now ended so you are no longer able to book via the national online system and no further jabs are being offered until further notice.
However, the RSV vaccination programme will continue into the New Year and is available to those aged 75-80 and those 28 weeks pregnant or over.
Please contact your surgery for details.
