Seasonal vaccinations

Flu vaccination

Annually in the autumn and winter we run a programme to vaccinate patients against influenza. All patients over 65 or in the ‘at risk’ categories are eligible for immunisation. The categories are

  • Respiratory Disease including Asthma
  • Diabetes
  • Heart Disease
  • Renal Failure
  • Children aged 2-4 (Nasal spray)
