We are also hoping -subject to vaccine delivery – that the Autumn COVID Booster can be given at the same time as your Influenza vaccination – as recommended by NHS England.
Please read carefully.
Please note that the queue this year will form towards Norton Way as there is an alternative clinic running from the Health Centre next door. They will not be providing flu vaccination so please make sure you join the correct queue. We ask that you please respect our neighbours by not parking on surrounding roads and keeping noise to a minimum.

Housebound
If you are housebound please notify the surgery and they will add you to the Housebound Flu list and arrangements will be made for you to receive the vaccination at home. Please be aware that this is a limited service and only available to totally housebound patients.
Children (under 18y)
The surgery will contact you with an appointment.
Pregnant
Ask you midwife who will be able to give you your flu vaccine, or attend one of the walk-in clinics.
Patient’s with immobility
If it will be difficult for you to stand in a queue, please drive into the rear carpark (marshalls will be on hand to guide you), where a GP or nurse will come to your car to vaccinate you in your car.
Walk in clinic instructions
- Come to the front of the surgery building, where there will be a marshalled queuing system
- Wear a short-sleeved top, and remove your coat / top layers when you enter the surgery in preparation
- We would appreciate if you would wear a face covering
- Don’t stop in the corridor – once you have been vaccinated follow the one-way arrows to exit at the rear of the building
- Don’t ask the GP, nurse or staff about any other health issue or prescription/result, as they will be unable to deal with it
