Having run our outdoor Flu Vaccination Clinics over the past 2 weeks we have managed to give approximately 650 vaccinations. From tomorrow, 14 April, we will no longer be doing outdoor clinics and vaccinations will be done in the surgery or in your car.

If you would like to arrange a Flu vaccination please phone and arrange a nurse appointment or come to the surgery and knock on the door and we will arrange to do your vaccine as promptly as possible.

Eligibility remains the same with Influenza vaccinations being free for all those over 65 and those under 65 with chronic health conditions. This year they are also free for Māori and Pacific people age over 55. There is also no delay for those who wish to get a vaccination but are ineligible for a free vaccine. If you don’t qualify for a free vaccine the cost is $35.
