Flu vaccines

Get your flu vaccine this season

As flu season approaches, it's important to take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your loved ones from getting sick. One of the most effective ways to do this is by getting a flu vaccine from your doctor. That's why we are excited to announce that we are now offering the flu vaccine to all our patients aged 3 years and over.

Getting vaccinated against the flu is especially important for individuals who are at a higher risk of developing serious complications from the flu, such as young children, pregnant women, older adults, and individuals with certain chronic health conditions.

By getting a flu vaccine, you can protect yourself and others around you from getting sick, as the vaccine helps to build immunity against the flu virus. Additionally, getting vaccinated can help to reduce the severity of flu symptoms if you do end up getting sick.

If you have children under the age of 3, we encourage you to call our surgery to speak with a nurse about getting them vaccinated. The nurse will be able to provide you with more information about the vaccine and help you schedule an appointment.

Please note that unfunded flu vaccines will cost $29. We understand that this cost may be a barrier for some individuals, but we strongly encourage you to consider the long-term benefits of getting vaccinated. In addition to protecting yourself and others from getting sick, getting vaccinated can also help to reduce the overall burden on our healthcare system.

Our first flu clinic will be held on Saturday, April 1st. We encourage you to schedule an appointment as soon as possible, as demand for the vaccine is likely to be high. Our team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care and service, and we look forward to helping you stay healthy this flu season.
