If you are eligible for this year's flu vaccination, and a patient of Downend Health Group, we now have available appointments for you to book online through https://www.patientaccess.com  

 

If you do not have online access we ask that you call the surgery after 2pm Monday-Friday on 01179 708991 when a member of our team can book this for you.

​

We recommend that all our eligible patients are vaccinated, for further information regarding eligibility please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/flu-influenza-vaccine

​

​

Whilst we’ve received information that all 50-64 year olds may be eligible for a free flu vaccination as part of plans to protect more people against seasonal flu, these free vaccinations will be subject to vaccine delivery later in the year.

This allows us to focus on those who are in an at risk group, such as pregnant women and people with long term health conditions. They will be given priority and offered the vaccine first; if you are in this category you will be contacted.

​

If you are aged 50-64 and not in one of the at risk categories you will be made aware in the coming months if you will be able to attend for vaccination. If the programme is extended this is likely to be November or December.
