In accordance with Department of Health guidelines we recommend an influenza vaccination every year for patients over 65 years of age and patients between 18 and 64 years of age with chronic heart, lung or kidney disease, diabetics and residents of nursing homes. In addition, for people with these problems, there is a pneumonia vaccine available which can be given at the same time as the influenza vaccination. Flu vaccinations are available in October each year and we will be in touch when its time to book in.
