Book your Flu Jab today

The flu season is fast approaching, and it is particularly important this year that as many people as possible receive the flu jab. Below is a copy of an email sent to all Milford and Wistaria patients who have signed up to receive email regarding the over 65 vaccinations.

----------------------------------------------

You are now able to book you flu appointment – please check the table below before booking. All patients can attend either site, Wistaria or Milford. 

If possible, please book your appointment online using your Patient Access account – this will help take the pressure off reception at this busy time of the year. 

If you cannot use your online access account for any reason we would prefer you to email the Surgery for an appointment at this busy time - whccg.wistariapractice@nhs.net. Alternatively you can call for an appointment - please phone 01590 643022 (preferably in the afternoon) and press option 0 to be taken through to our dedicated flu line. 

Before you attend you should read the patient information leaflet for the vaccine which is available online as we are not able to hand out laminated sheets this year. Visit our new website www.wistariaandmilford.nhs.uk/flu to find links to these leaflets.
