Influenza Vaccine    
         
    The Influenza Vaccine for winter 2009-10 is now available. If you are in one or more of the high risk groups listed below then we can offer you a free Flu Jab. The high risk groups are:
  • 65 years or over
  • heart disease including angina, heart attack and hypertension
  • chest disease including asthma, bronchitis and COPD
  • diabetes
  • kidney disease
  • liver disease
  • suppression of the immune system e.g. splenectomy, some cancers or certain treatments such as steroids
  • living in a residential or nursing home
Most patients in the above risk groups will receive a personal letter of invitation to attend the Treatment Room where one of our nurses will administer the Influenza vaccine. If you do not receive your letter and you think you ought to have the vaccine please contact reception.
