Vaccinations
Flu Vaccination - An influenza vaccination is particularly recommended for all patients over 65 and those with heart, lung, kidney disease, diabetes and asthma. Please contact the reception staff in September for details of the vaccination dates and to make an appointment. District nurses are able to give vaccinations to those who are housebound.
Pneumococcal Vaccination - A pneumococcal vaccination is available to anyone over 65 and patients with chronic diseases i.e. asthma, COPD and heart disease.
- Covid 19 Vaccination - are offered because viruses change and protection fades over time. It’s important to top up your protection. If you're at increased risk of serious illness from COVID-19, getting a COVID-19 vaccine can:
- help to reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms
- help you to recover more quickly if you catch COVID-19
- help to reduce your risk of having to go to hospital or dying from COVID-19
- protect against different strains of COVID-19
- RSV Vaccine - Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds. It usually gets better by itself, but it can be serious for some babies and older adults. You'll be able to get the vaccine if:
- you're aged 75 to 79
- you're 28 weeks pregnant or more – this will help protect your baby for the first few months after they're born
- If you're eligible to receive this vaccine your GP surgery will contact you about getting vaccinated. Please wait to be contacted.
