An influenza vaccination is particularly recommended for patients with heart, lung or kidney disease, diabetes, and residents of nursing and rest homes. These patients will receive a letter in September, which will include dates of the flu clinics held at the surgery. Housebound patients or those in nursing homes will be visited by a doctor or community nurse throughout October. Pregnant women will also be offered a vaccination during the flu season.
