Non-urgent advice: Covid Vaccine Clinics have finished

Our covid and flu clinics have finished for the season. We do have flu vaccines available but we do not have any covid vaccines.

If you would like to book in for FLU, please contact the surgery on 01909 500 233.
If you would like to book in for COVID, please contact the National Booking Service on 119.

Patients eligible for these vaccines will receive a text message from the surgery with a code to book an appointment. Please help us by ensuring your contact details are up to date. If you do not wish to have a vaccine you will also have the option to reply to the text message to decline the offer and we won’t bother you again (until next year). If you don’t have a mobile number, you will need to contact the surgery where one of our reception team will be happy to book you an appointment.
