Flu and COVID-19 vaccinations

We have started to contact our patients as part of the flu campaign.  We will be operating clinics for both flu and covid boosters.

Please contact the Surgery should you wish to book for one of these.  It is perfectly safe to have these at the same time during one appointment.
