FLU Vaccinations + COVID Booster
This year the Health Board have asked the Surgery to offer Flu Vaccination and COVID Booster Vaccinations to patients over 80 years only. If you are in this category you will receive an invite letter to attend our clinic.
All other patients will receive a national letter to attend a vaccination centre.
The Surgery will be unable to vaccinate any patients outwith the over 80 years cohort as we will not receive any additional vaccine.
The Health Board are currently making arrangements to vaccinate housebound patients.
