Booking Your Annual Flu Vaccination

The Department of Health advise vaccination for all patients who are pregnant, over the age of 65 years and patients that fall into a number of chronic disease groups e.g. Diabetes, Asthma, Chronic Heart Disease etc.

Please don’t wait for a letter inviting you for a flu vaccination, if you fall into the groups of people above or if you had one last year please make an appointment in one of our flu clinics. If you are not sure if you fit into these groups then please ask reception or nursing staff for advice.

This year we are going to book our vaccination sessions on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings in October. We hope that the Saturday sessions will fit in with people that are working and that the Monday and Wednesday afternoons will be suitable for people that are a little more flexible about when they can see us – please book as usual with the reception staff from the beginning of September onwards.

Please remember that during these sessions the doctors and nurses will be unable to offer any other clinical services e.g. dressings, prescriptions or clinical advice.

You are also advised to remain on the practice premises for 20 minutes after your vaccination has been given.

If you would like to book an appointment for your flu vaccination then please telephone the surgery on 0161-483-5155 and choose Option 2 to speak to our receptionists.
