Clinics and Other Services

Vaccination Clinic

All patients should keep their tetanus immunity up-to-date with a booster every 10 years. Children and adolescents will routinely be sent appointments as part of the child health programme. Each autumn we run flu vaccination clinics. We strongly recommend these for the over 65s, as well as all patients with diabetes, chest, heart complaints or kidney, liver, immunity problems and those who care for a person in poor health. It is recommended that all 65 year olds have one pneumonia vaccination in their lifetime, which the nurse can provide for you.
