Flu Vaccination
Individuals aged 65 and over, pregnant women, people with health conditions that increase their risk, as well as unpaid carers and household contacts of those at risk, can get their flu vaccination at Waterfield House to stay protected this winter. Please read more on eligibility and the need of vaccine on NHS UK
It's crucial to get vaccinated if you're eligible, even if you've had the flu shot before, since protection diminishes and viruses evolve.
The NHS may invite you for your free winter vaccines via the NHS App, text, email, or letter. If you haven't received this invitation, there's no need to wait
Flu Vaccination Clinics start Saturday, 5th October at 8:30 am. There are other dates available, please check with reception.
Flu and Covid vaccination will be given to Housebound patients by Cranbrook Pharmacy, contracted by ICB. The pharmacy team will be in touch with patients directly.
