Measles cases are rising with over twice as many cases confirmed in the first half of 2023 compared to the previous year. We know that having the MMR vaccine is the best way to be protected.

Eligible patients will be sent a text with a link to book an appointment with a Nurse for the vaccination.

Do not contact your GP surgery about your COVID-19 vaccination status.
GPs cannot provide letters showing your COVID-19 vaccination status or information to support COVID Recovery Documentation for travel purposes.
It is important for eligible patients (over 65’s and patients with specific clinical conditions) to have a flu vaccination. We still have vaccines available for eligible patients
Flu (influenza) is a highly infectious illness caused by a virus. It spreads rapidly through small droplets coughed or sneezed into the air by an infected person. For most people, flu is unpleasant but not serious. You will usually recover within a week. However, for those who are older or vulnerable, flu can be a serious illness.
Studies have shown that flu vaccines provide effective protection, although protection may not be complete and may vary between people. Protection from the vaccine gradually decreases and flu strains change over time. Therefore, new vaccines are made each year and people at risk of flu are encouraged to be vaccinated annually.
