Flu Vaccination
There is still time to get your Flu vaccination.
A lot of people eligible to have this vaccination have not taken up the offer!
Shingles Vaccination
From 1st September 2016 now routinely available for people aged 70 and 78.
You become eligible for the vaccine on the first day of September 2016 “after” you’ve turned 70 or 78 and remain so until the last day of August 2017.
In addition, anyone who was eligible for immunisation in the previous three years of the programme but missed out on their Shingles vaccination remains eligible until their 80th birthday. This includes:
* People aged 71, 72 and 73 on 1st September 2016.
* People aged 79 on 1st September 2106.
The Shingles vaccine is not available on the NHS if you are aged 80 or over.
Please book both the above through Marian and/or Michelle at the local surgery.
Bowel Cancer Screening
Patients are not taking the offer up when they receive the letter/test kit in the post.
Can you really afford to ignore such an offer?
It is your health, take care of it.
Prevent before it’s too late.
