We advise that we now have flu vaccines in stock for all patients aged over 6 months, including both government and private stock.
We ask that you book your appointment online if possible so that you can see the available times and book suitable slots for you and your family. A separate flu vaccine appointment needs to be booked for each family member who needs a vaccine.
COVID-19 AND SOCIAL DISTANCING
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have set up an outdoor waiting area, so when you come for your flu vaccine you will easily be able to maintain social distancing recommendations. We have hand gel and hand washing facitlies available.
With the current COVID-19 pandemic, it will be particularly important to try to stop the spread of flu this winter.
We do know that there will be plenty of stock available (12.5 million flu vaccines were distributed last year), so you will not miss out.
You can also read more information about flu vaccines in our Flu Vaccine FAQs.
