Vaccinations
This year we have to factor in social distancing into our flu vaccination schedule and so we are introducing new systems to keep everyone safe.

How to decline:
If you don’t want a flu vaccine at all please let us know via AskMyGP or our dedicated flu phone line. This year more than ever, this is very important as vaccine supplies are expected to be in extremely high demand.
We shall continue to offer essential home visits for very frail patients to have their flu vaccinations at home and for those living in care homes.
Home visits are more risky for the staff and patients so wherever possible patients should attend the surgery.
Home visit slots are very limited and so are strictly reserved only for those who physically couldn’t get into a car to attend an appointment with help from a friend, family or a taxi.
Child aged 2 and 3 and those under the age of 18 at risk will be given a date and time slot to attend. If you can’t make the appointment given please contact us as above.
If your child is eligible to have a vaccination at school, but not otherwise in another at risk group, they should have their vaccine at school, not at the Doctors surgery.
