A massive thank you to all the health and social care staff who have already taken advantage of the numerous ways available to get their flu vaccination. From dedicated clinics to peer immunisers, the last two months have seen staff across health and social work support our flu vaccination campaign by getting protected this winter with the flu vaccine.
To make it easier for the staff who are still be to vaccinated we will be offering drop in flu clinics from this Saturday (31st) at all our vaccination clinics for health and social care staff. You can attend any of our vaccination sites during clinic opening hours, with no appointment needed.
If you have not yet had your flu vaccine this season, please use whichever clinic is most convenient for you. Please share these arrangements with colleagues across health and social care.
If you are a social care member of staff working in a healthcare building, there should also be a peer immuniser available to administer your flu vaccine. Please speak to the relevant senior team in your building to confirm the local arrangements.
The information below explains where you can attend and how to check clinic opening times.
