Other Vaccinations
Flu And Pneumococcal Infections
We recommend vaccination against the flu and pneumococcal infection in the autumn for those over the age of 65 and for those who have certain chronic medical conditions that put them at higher risk should they develop the flu or a pneumococcal infection such as pneumococcal pneumonia. Please enquire at reception in September/early October.
Tetanus
Everyone should be protected by being immunised against this disease. Please contact our practice nurses if you need clarification about whether you are fully immunised.
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.
Yellow Fever
We are a yellow fever vaccination centre. Please make an appointment with our practice nurse. There will be a fee for this service.
