ADULT FLU AND COVID VACCINE PROGRAMME

​

Our Winter 2022 Adult Flu and COVID vaccine programme is starting next week (our children's flu vaccine programme will follow over the next few weeks). 

 

We will be running walk-in vaccine clinics for adults (flu + COVID) and children aged 2+ (nasal flu vaccine) in the afternoons (14:30 - 16:00) on the following days:

• Thurs 24th Nov
