Get your flu vaccine by Halloween

Our flu programmes tagline this year is 'Boo to Flu' as we want everyone eligible to be vaccinated by Halloween.  NHS England have recommended everyone is vaccinated by the end of October and so our Boo to Flu target is the 31/10/23. 

We have clinics for adults on both weekdays and weekends.  

Our special boo to flu child flu session will be on the morning of Saturday 28th October.  Eligible children are welcome to visit us dressed in their Halloween clothes for their flu vaccine with our nurses joining in with the fun.
