NHS vaccinations

It's important to make sure that your child has all of their routine childhood vaccinations. It's the most effective way of keeping them protected against infectious diseases.

Ideally, children should have their vaccinations at the right age to protect them as early as possible and to minimise the risk of infection.

Your GP will be able to tell you what vaccinations children need. You can also find more information about children's vaccinations and benefits on the Vaccinations page on the NHS website.

Seasonal flu is highly infectious illness that’s caused by a flu virus. The virus infects your lungs and upper airways, and can cause a high temperature, aches and pains. A flu vaccination can help limit your risk of getting the flu.

Our surgery offers flu vaccinations to patients. We offer two routine vaccinations – one for patients under 65 years and another vaccine for patient over 65 years.

You can contact the surgery to find out more about flu vaccinations or visit the Flu Influenza vaccine page on the NHS website.

We offer routine vaccinations and general advice to our patients travelling abroad who may need to be vaccinated.

Firstly, check which vaccines you’ve already had, you can either view this information on the NHS App or Patient Access, or request a summary of your medical record from the surgery.

To find out which vaccines you need, visit the NaTHNaC website here: NaTHNaC Travel Vaccines.

Patients can get certain travel vaccines free of charge at the surgery, including Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Diptheria/Tetanus/Polio. Other vaccines may need to be paid for privately at your local pharmacy.

Once you know what you need, you can book an appointment with one of our practice nurses to get your vaccines.

You can book nurse appointments online using the NHS App or Patient Access here:
