We wish to apologise for texts some of you have received with contradictory information about flu vaccines.
It may have seemed like an early April Fool’s Day prank, but was due to an error with our texting system!
For clarification:
Flu vaccines are free for those 65yrs and older, and for those with some chronic health conditions including heart disease, asthma (if on daily preventer inhaler), COPD, many cancers, autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, some neurological conditions such as MS, and pregnant women.
For those falling outside of these groups, the flu vaccine is available from Monday April 1st, and charges apply as per the previous website message.
