Every autumn the practice runs a programme to vaccinate those at risk from influenza e.g. the over 65’s or anyone with chronic illness, heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, lung or kidney disease. Your doctor can advise you whether such an injection would be appropriate for you. Should you not be in this group of patients but wish to have a “flu” vaccination please ask at reception. These injections are given at special sessions organized by the practice nurse and are free.
