The shingles vaccination is offered to patients as they reach their 70th birthday and is a once only vaccination.
The vaccination programme is relatively new and there is a “catch up” programme for older patients, who may be able to have the vaccination up to age 80.
Flu can be serious if you have a chronic condition such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, epilepsy or are on tablets which suppress your immune system.
For these patients, we would normally recommend that you have an annual flu vaccination.
Please look out for our flu vaccination open sessions, normally held towards the end of September. Alternatively, if you miss these sessions, you can make an appointment to have the vaccination with one of our HCAs.
