How will I be contacted?
We will contact all eligible patients via SMS message, phone call, email, or letter.
Patients who have consented to receiving SMS messages will be sent a link to book their appointment online.
Please Note! If you have opted-out from receiving SMS messages, you will still be invited for your flu vaccination, but your invitation may take longer to arrive, as it will come via email, phone call, or letter.
Who should not receive the flu vaccine?
The flu vaccination is safe for most individuals, however, if you have had an allergic reaction to the vaccine in the past then you must avoid it. Please let us know if you would not like to receive the flu vaccine so that we may update your records.
Allergy to Eggs: Please inform us if you are allergic to eggs, as we will need to give you an alternative vaccine. (This is because some flu vaccines are made using eggs.)
I am housebound and cannot come into the health centre for a vaccination.
If you are housebound and unable to visit the health centre to receive a Flu vaccination then please call the designated housebound phone line. Tel: 07729300349
If you need to cancel your appointment, please call the health centre (Tel: 01392 255722) at least 24 hours in advance so the appointment can be offered to another eligible patient.
