FLU VACCINATIONS

The flu season is almost here and the appointment booking system for your free vaccination is now LIVE

We are using the same system as previously. If you have used it before to book a Flu appointment you will already have created a sign on and password, so will need to sign in to the booking link using these (top right hand corner of the screen) then choose a location and make your booking.

If you’ve not, click here to choose a location and make a booking. You'll also be asked to create an account, this will allow you to reschedule, cancel and check the details of your booking in the future. 

Follow these simple steps to book your FREE vaccination

We are booking appointments at 4 minute intervals, but there may be short waiting times and you may need to sit for a few minutes after the appointment

No, we have a list of contents and this is not listed.
