Housebound
If you are housebound and unable to attend the medical centre, we will contact you to arrange to give your flu and COVID vaccines at home. If we have not vaccinated you at home before, please contact us to ensure that you are on our housebound register.
Care Homes
If you or your relative are in a care home, you do not need to contact us. We will be visiting each of our care homes to administer flu and COVID vaccines, starting in October.
Children’s Flu Vaccinations
We will be offering flu vaccinations to children aged 2-3, and children under 18 who are in a vulnerable group. We will start sending invitations soon.
School-aged children who are not in a vulnerable group will receive their flu vaccination from the school immunisation team. We are not able to vaccinate these children at the medical centre. If your child has missed their flu vaccination at school, or is not currently attending school, please contact the school immunisation team on 0300 555 5055 option 5.
