Swine Flu Vaccines

We now have our initial supply of swine flu vaccination and we have started our vaccination programme.

We have sent invitation letters to those high risk groups and we would encourage you to contact us as soon as possible to arrange an appointment for your vaccine. If you have not received a letter, but think you may be in a high risk group, please phone us on 01942 821899 or contact us

The high risk groups are:

• People aged between six months and 65 years in the seasonal flu vaccine at-risk groups.
• All pregnant women.
• People who live with those whose immune systems are compromised, such as cancer patients or people with HIV/AIDS.
• People aged 65 and over in the seasonal flu vaccine at-risk groups.
