2011/2012 FLU JABS

Clinics for the Seasonal Flu Vaccination will be held on the following dates:
- Tuesday 27th September 2011 12:30 - 1:30pm
- Wednesday 28th September 2011 12:30 - 1:30pm
- Thursday 29th September 2011 12:30 - 1:30pm

Patients in the following categories are invited to make appointments for their annual seasonal flu jab.

The Flu jab’s main purpose is to protect those who are most at risk of developing complications that can result from flu. If you have:
- a serious heart problem such as heart failure,
- a serious asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
- a long-term kidney or liver disease, diabetes,  stroke or
- a weakened immune system as a result of an illness such as HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) or AIDS or due treatment, such as chemotherapy.

You are entitled to a free flu jab if you:
- are aged 65 or over,
- are a resident in a long-term residential care home,
- have diabetes,
- are having cancer treatment,
- have lowered immunity due to HIV or steroid medication, or
- have a long-term (chronic) condition, such as kidney or liver disease.

Pregnant women who have not already received the H1N1 vaccine

If you are the parent of a child (over the age of six months) with a long-term condition, speak to your GP about the flu jab. Your child’s condition may get worse if they do catch flu.

If you are the carer of an elderly or disabled person make sure they have had their flu jab. You should also get the jab yourself if their welfare is at risk (i.e. you can’t look after them) if you fall ill. Ask your GP for advice.

The practice will be introducing extended working hours from 2nd June 2008. For further details please see the Surgery Times page.
