FLU VACCINATIONS – SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2020
All eligible patients will be getting letters from the surgery soon. The letter will say:
We notice from your records you may be someone who would benefit from a seasonal influenza vaccination. Due to the Covid19 pandemic our flu clinics will be managed differently this year.
Social distancing guidelines must be followed and all patients attending must wear a face covering.
Where possible, patients should attend alone to limit the number of people in the building.
The surgery car park will be closed to the public on both clinic days.
DO NOT ATTEND IF YOU HAVE ANY COVID SYMPTOMS.
