Flu campaign – update

Posted on November 27th, 2020

We have managed to order 250 vaccines to cover those in the 50-64 age group, and despite our best efforts there is no supply through our normal routes nor through the national ones for additional stock. Because we have around 2,000 patients in that age bracket, this means we only have enough vaccine for 12.5% of our eligible patients; we will of course continue to work to secure additional vaccines.

Shortly, all eligible patients will receive an invitation to a flu clinic at Elleray Hall on Wednesday 16th December. Necessarily, this will be first-come, first-served, and we apologise in advance if you do attend and are unable to have a vaccine. Vaccine supply and manufacture is not in our control, and is handled by NHS England, with whom you can discuss issues with supply.
