Influenza/Pneumonia Vaccination

The NHS recommends injections for everyone over the age of 65 or those of any age with chronic medical conditions and expectant mothers. If appropriate you will be offered a pneumonia vaccination at the same time. It is not possible to send out invitations to all eligible patients, so please do not wait to be invited.
