Flu
Vaccinations
- Clinics are held every October and
November.
Please telephone in
September to see when the flu
vaccination clinics are being held
and to book an appointment.
We recommend the flu vaccinations
for:
- Anybody of or above pensionable age.
- For all patients with long-standing
chest, heart or lung complaints.
- Diabetes.
- Liver or kidney disease.
- Most chronic debilitating illnesses.
- Those living in residential homes.
- Those taking immunosuppressant
medicines.
- Those who are
the main carer for an elderly or
disabled person who relies on
the Carer.
Pneumonia vaccination is also
recommended for these groups of
patients.
We recommend that
anyone over the age of 65 should
have a pneumovax injection for the
protection against pneumonia. This
is a one-off injection and lasts a
lifetime. If you have already had
this injection at a previous
surgery, please let us know and we
can add this information to your
records.
