SEASONAL VACCINATIONS 2023 - BILLESDON SURGERY

We are delighted to announce that we will begin our Flu clinics for 2023 on Saturday 30th September at Billesdon Surgery.

We will start by inviting all patients aged 65 years and over (or aged 64 and turning 65 on or before 31.03.2024). The administered flu vaccine will be Adjuvanted Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine (aQIV). Under 65 year olds receive a different vaccine. We will only be vaccinating patients aged 65 and over at this clinic.

You will receive a text message from week commencing 21st August 2023 with a link to book yourself an appointment. We will contact you by telephone if we are unable to send you the link by text message.

Patients aged 64 and under and in a clinical risk group

More information on clinic dates for patients aged under 65 and in a clinical risk group will follow soon.

HOUSEBOUND PATIENTS

If you are strictly housebound we will contact you to make arrangements for you to be visited at home by one of our nurses.

CHILDREN'S FLU

All children aged 2 and 3 years on 31.08.2023 (with a date of birth on or after 01.09.2023 or on or before 31.08.2021) will be invited by text message to attend for their nasal flu vaccination. The clinics will be held in October and November.

We kindly ask that you support Billesdon Surgery by having your vaccination at our

clinics rather than elsewhere.

Thank you for your support.

Kind Regards
