Flu Vaccinations

Flu vaccinations - 2023

Flu vaccination will be offered with Covid Vaccine in the first phase for all those eligible for both e.g. over 65, immunocompromised.

Flu Vaccination Clinics will be offered at our surgery sites, including Nasal Vaccinations for children.

We will be sending Messages with booking links out in Mid October for clinics in early November

Flu Vaccinations - Nov 2020

Our 4 mass clinics have seen unprecedented demand with 2,500  appointments delivered within 4 weeks. Thanks so much to all our staff, and the PPG volunteers who made this happen so successfully.

We are due more vaccine deliveries towards the end of November for at-risk patients under 65, and we still have some stock of over 65 and Child Nasal Flu Vaccine.

We are offering smaller socially distanced clinics in our surgery sites for Flu Vaccinations for adults & children. We also still have stock of Shingles Vaccination for those age 71-80, and Pneumococcal Vaccination -mostly for those over 65. Hopefully all of these groups will have had letters from the Practice. 

Please contact your surgery reception to make appointments, or to be held on a waiting list for any out of stock vaccines.

Many thanks

Directions to Pucklechurch Surgery  

Flu Vaccination for Patients between 50 and 65 not in other at-risk groups

We have now had notification that we are allowed to vaccinate patients from 50-65 for Flu as from 1st December, regardless of underlying medical conditions.
We have a limited supply of suitable vaccine available -and have organised clinics in all of our surgery sites.

Quite a lot of our promised government stockpile vaccine supply won't arrive until as late as 18th December, which is not ideal. We have now made appointments for most patients on our waiting lists. If you would like Flu Vaccination, and are 50+, please contact your surgery reception. We will continue to offer this into January. We understand that a number of pharmacies are receiving vaccine too, and can administer you flu jab free of charge if you are in an eligible group.
