Tetanus & Polio

All adults should ensure that they have had a total of five does of tetanus vaccine in their life and they have had  full course of polio in the past.  If in doubt, please check with the receptionist. Protection against tetanus and polio should be kept up to date. A full primary course with a booster at 15 years of age should be followed by at least two boosters at 10 year intervals to protect throughout life.

Flu vaccination

An influenza vaccination is particularly recommended for patients with heart, lung or kidney disease, diabetes and residents of nursing and rest homes. Please contact the reception staff in September for details of the vaccination dates and to make an appointment.
