Posted or Updated on 4 Sep 2024
Don’t let the flu get you down this winter! Eligible patients can get a free flu jab at the surgery on Saturday 5th October.
Flu vaccine
Getting your flu jab helps protect you from serious illness and reduces the strain on the NHS.

Eligibility
Patients eligible for a free flu vaccination include:
- Patients aged 65 years or over
- Patients aged 18-64 years in clinical risk groups
- Carers in receipt of carer’s allowance, or those who are the main carer of an elderly or disabled person

Please be aware that the clinic on 5th October is specifically for adult flu jabs. We will be organising separate clinics for child flu jabs.
Car parking
We understand that parking was difficult at last year's flu clinic. To help, Cottage Care Centre has generously offered extra parking spaces on their premises for our patients on October 5th. Please use the right-hand side of their car park only. The left-hand side is reserved for another NHS event.
