OVER 65 OR UNDER 65 YEARS, AT RISK - FLU?
(Please see below for definition of "AT RISK")
There's still time to get your free flu jab if you are in one of the at risk groups. Please book an appointment with the nurse to have this done.
The NHS App lets you book GP appointments, order repeat prescriptions and access a range of other healthcare services.
Certain groups are at particular risk from flu and vaccination is the best protection we have against an unpredictable virus. That’s why the flu vaccine is free – because eligible groups really need it. If you (or someone you care for) fall into one of the following groups, contact your GP practice for a free flu vaccine:
- adults age 65 and over
- children age 2-3 and in reception classes through to year 5
- pregnant women
- anyone with an underlying condition such as COPD, bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, spleen problems (like sickle cell), liver disease or a chronic neurological disease like multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy
- anyone with a weakened immune system as the result of conditions such as HIV and AIDS, or medication such as steroid tablets or chemotherapy
- anyone who receives a carer's allowance, or you are the main carer for an elderly or disabled person whose welfare may be at risk if you fall ill
- frontline health and social care workers
- anyone who has a learning disability and are on their GP learning disability register.
If you don't fall into one of these groups but would still like a flu vaccine, then call into your local pharmacy.

This does not affect your right to see any doctor of your choosing at the practice.
