FLU VACCINATION CLINICS 2020/21
Further to our recent post, we still have flu vaccines for all eligible patients (including those aged 60-64yrs who were not otherwise eligible).
Appointments are still available! Please contact the practice to book - 01397 703136.
For more information of the flu vaccination and who is eligible, please visit https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/immunisation/vaccines/flu-vaccine

COVID-19 VACCINE
If you have a general query about the COVID-19 vaccine, please look on the NHS Inform website or use the national helpline 0800 030 8013 which is open from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week.
 
Vaccine rollout to the general public, based on age and underlying health conditions, will start as soon as possible, and will depend on vaccine supply.
 
This is likely to be at the start of the new year so please look out for a letter and a leaflet arriving in the post which will invite you to make an appointment for your vaccine. The first group to receive this will be the over 80s.
 
Please avoid calling with any general queries about the COVID-19 vaccine as we are unable to give you any more information at this stage and we need to try and keep phone-lines open for people who are unwell and needing medical care.
 
Many thanks for your ongoing patience and cooperation.
