Our walk in flu clinic was on 18.9.23, we encourage those who could not attend our clinic and still require a flu jab to attend the surgery during weekdays (avoiding between 12-1.30pm) and give reception your details, one of our nursing team will do your vaccine in between patients . As instructed by NHS England it is only adults +65 without a medical condition eligible for a vaccine, different to previous years where those 50-65 were eligable, this is not the case this year.
