COVID-19 and Flu Vaccinations
Despite our best efforts to be organised early for this Autumns COVID and flu campaign, unfortunately there have been delays with the national online booking system we use for appointments, which are out of our control.
This means we will have to delay the opening of our appointment booking line until Monday 18th September – between 14:00 and 17:00, Monday to Friday. Please do not call before this date as we will be unable to book you an appointment. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this slight delay has caused.
