We offer a number of different vaccinations for different age groups.
The NHS summary website is here: https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/nhs-vaccinations-and-when-to-have-them/ but we have also given further information below.
Flu Vaccine: Each Autumn and Winter we offer the flu vaccine to those with long term health conditions, children 2-3 years old and patients who are over 65 years old. To read more click here: Flu vaccine – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
Childhood immunisation schedule: We strongly recommend that all children receive their routine childhood immunisations. This is even more important in recent years due to the rise in cases of Measles (which can cause life long severe disability or even death) and Whooping Cough (Pertussis), both of which are included in the routine immunisation regime.
