Swine Flu Vaccine

The long-awaited swine 'flu vaccine has arrived. In order to vaccinate the 300 or so eligible for the first wave of immunisation, we will be running clinics on the 9th and 11th November. The reason for having clinics with appointments is that each ampoule of vaccine will be enough for 10 people and we have to discard it a short while after opening. We only have a limited supply of ampoules, so we need to make the most out of each one.

If you are in a priority group (see http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Pandemic-flu/Pages/Vaccine.aspx?WT.srch=1 for further information) then please contact reception to arrange an appointment.
