We offer vaccinations via our nursing team. Please
read below for information on different vaccines. For information about
travel vaccines please see our
Travel section. 'Flu Jabs These are given annually to help protect against influenza virus. These are available from early October. We offer two flu clinics in October and catch-up clinics for those unable to attend a flu clinic. It may also be possible to have your injection during a routine visit to the practice. We routinely visit residential homes to provide flu jabs. However, if you are housebound please contact the surgery to arrange a nurse to see you at home. Click here for a list of those patients eligible for free flu jabs. If there are sufficient supplies once our NHS commitments are fulfilled, these may be offered on a private basis to non-eligible patients. Pneumococcal Vaccination This is a once-only jab to protect against a particular bacterial infection. It is available all year round, and is offered to anyone on reaching their 65th birthday. Certain other patients younger than 65 can receive this injection - please click here for a list of eligible patients. Hepatitis B Vaccination Hepatitis B vaccination is free on the NHS for those considered at risk of Hepatitis B. This does not include occupational risk which should be covered via the employer's occupational health service. Vaccinations are also offered privately to those who wish to have vaccination. Tetanus Provided your childhood vaccines are up-to-date, tetanus boosters are only required if you are at risk of contracting tetanus from a high-risk injury or animal bite.
