We recommend that all patients over the age of 65 years and those patients who suffer from chronic illnesses, such as lung disease (bronchitis, asthma, emphysema etc), heart disorder, kidney disease or diabetes should have a vaccination to prevent influenza each autumn.
Before travelling abroad, we strongly recommend that you seek advice from the practice nurse regarding appropriate vaccination. Please plan well ahead so that the full course of treatment can be given before your departure. We advise that you contact the nurse at least 6 weeks before you are due to leave.
