Annual Flu Clinics

The annual flu clinics will usually commence in October each year and continue through to March. To book your appointment with the nurse please ring reception after 11am Monday to Friday from mid-September onwards.

Eligible Patients:

You automatically qualify for the flu jab the flu jab if you’re 65 years of age or over, or if you have any of the following problems (however old you are):

• a serious heart complaint
• a chest complaint or breathing difficulties, including asthma, bronchitis and emphysema
• serious kidney disease
• diabetes
• lowered immunity due to disease or treatment such as steroid medication or cancer treatment
• if you have had a stroke or a transient ischaemic attack (TIA)
• if you have a problem with your spleen or you have had your spleen removed

Your GP may advise you to have a flu jab if you have serious liver disease, multiple sclerosis (MS) or some other diseases of the nervous system.

If you're pregnant, you should have the flu jab, regardless of the stage of pregnancy you've reached. Pregnant women are more prone to complications from flu that can cause serious illness for both mother and baby.

Children with a long-term health condition should also have a flu vaccination because their illness could get worse if they catch flu. This includes any child over the age of six months of age with a long-term health problem such as a serious respiratory or neurological condition. 

The flu vaccine for children is a nasal spray and is available each year on the NHS for two and three year olds.

If you’re the carer of an elderly or disabled person, make sure they’ve had their flu jab. As a carer, you could be eligible for a flu jab too. Ask your GP for advice, or read our information about Flu jabs for carers.
