Vaccinations

The NHS offers the Men ACWY vaccine to 14-25 year olds (most have it at school). Check your NHS App vaccination record to see if you have had this. If not, and you are 14-25 years old, call reception to book your vaccination.

The NHS only currently offers Men B vaccination to infants, and therefore we cannot offer this to older children or adults. If you wish to have this, you would need to contact a private provider.

If you might have been in contact with someone with Men B

If you have been in contact (over 15 mins spent within 6 feet) with someone who ended up being diagnosed with confirmed Men B within the next 7 days, please contact the surgery or call 111. We will assess the situation and provide you with prophylactic antibiotics if you need them.

Note you do not require antibiotics if you have been in contact with someone who has not been confirmed with Men B.

If you have symptoms

Please send a triage or call the surgery (rather than walking into reception). The GP will assess your symptoms and arrange for you to be seen either safely here at the surgery, or at A+E.

We are now taking bookings for Spring COVID vaccinations for those who are over 75, or immunosuppressed. 

We'll run an initial large clinic on Tuesday 14th April in the afternoon, then plan additional later dates if possible. 

We'll also visit those of you who are housebound (please let us know as soon as possibile if you have newly become housebound). 

Remember the site will be very busy on the day with very limited parking. Please walk, or get a lift if possible.
