SEASONAL WINTER VACCINE PROGRAMME UPDATE 2024
Over the next few weeks, we will commence our Winter Vaccine Programme. Please wait to receive your invite from the Practice before contacting us.
New! RSV Vaccination
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory infection. While symptoms are usually mild, the elderly are at higher risk of serious complications.
The UK is leading the way as the first country to develop a vaccine against RSV. This vaccine will be offered to adults aged over 75 to 79. We have clinics running throughout September.
