Our nurses and HCA’s provide vaccinations and immunisations throughout the year.
These include:
- Influenza (Flu) vaccinations – usually these begin around September and are available to the groups that the NHS authorises us to vaccinate:
- those aged over 65
- pregnant women
- those who’s circumstances make them more vulnerable
- Pneumococcal vaccination – this is a one off (for the majority of patients) vaccination for patients aged over 65
- Shingles Vaccination – this is a one off vaccination for patients aged between 70 and 79
- it is not available to anyone aged 80 or over on the NHS because it seems to be less effective in this age group
