MMR Vaccination
There have been many worried patients expressing concerns over the MMR (Mumps Measles and Rubella) issue which continues to be a hot topic. For information about the MMR vaccine and the diseases that it is designed to prevent, visit the comprehensive MMR website at www.mmrthefacts.nhs.uk
Influenza vaccination
Influenza vaccinations are available every year at the practice usually starting in October. All patients over the age of 65 years are now advised to have a flu jab each year. Other patients who fall into defined at risk groups can also have this vaccination. These are patients with immune deficiencies, diabetes, asthma, registered carers etc. If you would like more information or simply reassurance that the vaccination really cannot 'give you the flu' please look here. In addition to this, patients over 80 years of age are encouraged to have a pneumonia vaccination.
