All patients aged 65+ are eligible for a free flu vaccine this year as well as those under 65 who fall into an at-risk group.
NHS England have informed us that the national flu programme for adults must not start until 3rd October this year to ensure the vaccine remains effective throughout the winter flu season (a full explanation is available here).
As a result we will not be holding clinics during September and we will not be offering opportunistic vaccination during routine appointments in September. We have two mass vaccination clinics will be held on Saturday 5th and Saturday 19th October at Ponteland and some smaller weekday clinics available at Wylam.
