The NHS has asked GP practices and Pharmacies to start the main flu campaign in October this year. Usually we start earlier but the evidence is that vaccinating slightly later improves immunity over Christmas and later in winter.
So, don’t panic that we haven’t yet contacted you to book. We will start booking in the middle of August. And this year we will try online booking as well as the dedicated flu line.
We will be in touch with eligible patients in mid August so that you can book your appointment.
Until then, enjoy the summer before the thought of winter is upon us again
