NHS Flu Vaccine Information

Our initial Flu clinic will be held at Meridian Hall, East Court on Sunday 6th October 2024.  

You will be invited via text message, with a booking link enabling you to book your own time slot. Those that cannot be contacted via text message will be contacted alternatively via email or telephone.

Please note we will be prioritising those most at risk, so please wait to be contacted. 

Our big "Super Sunday" flu clinics are a great way to get as many patients as we can vaccinated before the flu virus starts to spread.

In 2023, we vaccinated over 2,500 patients in our Sunday clinic!

Here's what some of our patients thought...

Speech bubbles with reactions from patients. "It was very well run, I was in and out in 5 mins". "Well done it was a very efficient process". "It worked like clockwork, thank you."

 

Child Flu Vaccinations 2024

We will be holding our Childrens drive-through flu clinic on 25th September at East Grinstead Rugby Club. This is before the schools begin their vaccination programmes.

Holding our children's vaccinations as a drive through clinic helps to vaccinate more children in a timely and efficient way, with fewer tears as they don't even need to get out of the car! If you are attending our drive through clinic, please ensure the child is next to an open window so that our team can administer the nasal spray vaccination. 

We will also be delivering vaccinations at the surgery during our usual opening hours. We will be contacting eligible patients, but please contact the surgery to book your appointment if you believe your child is eligible.
