FLU VACCINE UPDATE

FLU VACCINES STILL AVAILABLE!

We still have flu vaccines available for ALL eligible groups*

If you are eligible for the NHS flu vaccine please either book online via the NHS App or Patient Access (selecting the correct age slot), or you can call our dedicated flu booking line on 0118 2141 686 – this line will be open between 10am – 1pm ONLY on weekdays until Friday 10th December.

Over 100 patients did not attend for their flu appointment at the clinic we held on Saturday morning – please let us know in advance if you are unable to come so we can offer your slot to someone else and ensure our resources are used efficiently. The quickest way to let us know is via the cancellation page on our website: Cancel an Appointment | The Boathouse Surgery (pangbournesurgery.co.uk)

Thank you 😊
