Appointments at the surgery are now available to book for flu vaccinations for children who are aged 2 or 3 years on 31 August 2023 (born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2021).
Young people under 18 years of age, in clinical at risk groups, can choose whether to receive the vaccine at school or at the surgery. If they would like to attend the surgery appointments are available for booking now.
The vaccination is free of charge. Children will be assessed to confirm the most suitable vaccine when they come to the practice. For most children it is given as a nasal spray which is a quick and painless spray up the nose.
Flu vaccinations for secondary school pupils will follow later in the autumn / winter.
All other primary school aged children will be vaccinated at school by the school nursing team
Please keep an eye on the website below for Gloucestershire based clinics for home educated children and catch up clinics for those who miss the school based vaccination
