The flu vaccination programme starts on 3rd October 2024. This is later than normal, if you want to know why please Click Here. We are not able to give any doses before this date.
Flu and COVID vaccination appointments are now available for booking. It is really important that you are booked into the correct clinic. Appointments will be available for Flu only, or Flu and Covid at the same time (two injections). Covid appointments on their own will also be available at the surgery or can be booked elsewhere via the National Booking Service.
Non-urgent advice: Weekend Flu Clinics
Sunday 6th October – Wistaria Surgery
Appointments for Flu only or Flu and Covid vaccinations
UPDATE 12/9/24 – We have run out of our initial allocation of COVID vaccine, we will be getting more but we would suggest you book for Flu and then get the COVID vaccination later in October or November. Flu vaccines are delivered in bulk whereas COVID vaccine delivers are staggered through October and November
We will have some COVID only appointments at the surgeries but this can also be booked elsewhere using the National Booking Service from 23/9/24.
How to book
The best way to book is using the NHS app. Alternatively you can book with patient access. You can book by phone if necessary, you may find it quicker to get through in the afternoons. We also send booking invites by text message which allow you to book directly into appointments.
