It’s flu season again, it’s time to get the flu jab. The flu is an unpleasant illness and can be debilitating for many people who get it. It often involves being sick with a cough, fever, a blocked or running nose and a feeling of tiredness. People who contract the flu usually have to spend a few days at home, missing work or other commitments.

What can you do to prevent this?

YourGP receive delivery of the Flu vaccine, commonly called the ‘Flu Jab’ a few weeks before the NHS, enabling those who want it early can have it early – and we now have it in stock!

Our vaccine is available to anyone from 6 months old, who wants one. We run annual flu vaccination clinics, 7 days a week (Edinburgh only, Mon-Fri in Aberdeen), between September and February while our stocks last.

• To stay protected, it is recommended to have your Flu jag each year
• We vaccinate both adults and children from 6 months old
• It is recommended that all those travelling abroad, for work or leisure, have the Flu jab

NB: If you are within one of the Clinical Risk Groups, including asthmatic, diabetic or aged over 65 years, you are entitled to the flu vaccine from your NHS practice.

Booking your Flu Jab

When you come in for your treatment we will discuss the vaccination and make you as comfortable as possible.

• The vaccination itself involves a single injection in your arm
• You will be asked to complete a consent form
