Winter Flu and Covid-19 Vaccines

We’re running vaccination clinics this autumn and winter to help protect our patients against flu and Covid-19.

Flu and Covid-19 viruses change each year, and the protection from previous vaccines fades over time. Getting vaccinated every year gives you the best chance of avoiding serious illness this winter.

Vaccination clinic dates running throughout October, we have started inviting eligible patients. You’ll get an invitation by text, letter, email, NHS App message or phone call.

The risk of flu and Covid-19 are still real. Get your vaccinations to protect yourself and the people around you.
