What is happening at the surgery? Flu Season is coming!

Evening all,

It has been a while since I've posted on here. I however thought it would be a good idea to forewarn everyone that the Flu season is just around the corner. This means that in the near future there will be flu clinics running at our practice again. They will be starting in October, so keep your eyes peeled if you are in the eligible categories to have a flu jab. New this year will also be the vaccinations against shingles. The Department of Health has decided that this year people who are 70 or 79 years old are eligible for this new shingles vaccination. This can potentially be given at the same time as the flu jab.

More details will be coming out soon and you will also be able to find this information on our website at www.whitehousefarmmedical.nhs.uk.

Don't miss out on your flu jab this year if you are in one of the eligible categories.

Dr J.E.C. Bennekers
