Important Information regarding Influenza Vaccinations for 50-64 year olds

We have been advised by NHS England that people in the 50-64-year old age group will not be vaccinated against Influenza until November and December, providing there is sufficient vaccine, and no appointments will be offered for this age group until then. This is to ensure that those who are most at risk are vaccinated first.  If you are 50-64 and you are in one of the other groups which is eligible for the flu vaccination, for example you have a health condition which puts you at risk from the flu, you will be invited earlier.

From 1st June 2020 we are moving to electronic prescriptions only.  For more information visit www.nhs.uk/eps
