Appointments will also be available to book via our reception team. More information regarding this programme will be provided in due course.
RSV Vaccine
From 1 September 2024, those who turn 75 and those age 75-79 will be eligible for a free vaccine to protect them from Respiratory Synctial Virus (RSV).
All eligible patients will be sent a booking link or can contact the surgery direct to book an appointment.
Also, all women who are at least 28 weeks pregnant on 1 September 2024 will be offered a single dose of the RSV vaccine. After that, pregnant women will become eligible as they reach 28 weeks gestation and remain eligible up to birth. Please speak to your midwife about this vaccination.
