Staying well this winter – get vaccinated!

People aged 65 and over, pregnant women and those with certain long-term health conditions can book in for their covid and flu jabs.

You can request an appointment via Total Triage, asking a member of reception or by calling the Nurse Support Team on 01902 229050

Children aged two to 16 can also get vaccinated with a nasal spray.

Last year, nearly 8,000 people died from flu, and in the 2022-23 flu season there were nearly 16,000 deaths.

Flu rates are currently three times higher than normal for this time of year, with the highest rates seen in children and young people. But health officials have warned the virus will start spreading to older groups in the coming weeks.
