Pneumoccocal Vaccination

The surgery is inviting patients in for a pneumococcal vaccination. Patients who are eligible are:

  • People aged 65 and over 1 dose when you’re 65
  • Children and adults at higher risk of getting seriously ill – At least 1 dose (some people may need extra doses or regular doses)

We will be sending invitations out for patients to book in for a vaccination.  This will mainly be by text message. Please use the link provided to book your appointment. This will direct you straight to the Nurses appointment rotas. If you do not wish to have the vaccination please let us know so that we can update your records and we will not continue to contact you.

Here is a link to useful information which shows the benefits of the vaccination.
