COVID/Flu Vaccine Appointments – Important Information

If you have not received a text to book your COVID or flu vaccine, please contact the surgery by phone to check your eligibility and make an appointment. For patients who have received a booking link via text, we kindly ask you to use that method to book your vaccine directly online. This helps us keep our phone lines open for those who may not have access to online services.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
