Frome Medical Practice have provided the following update for people wanting to know about getting flu jab appointments this year.

We have now started our flu vaccination clinics and wanted to remind the following eligible groups of patients to book their appointment with us. If you are in any of the groups listed below as being eligible please call the flu line on 01373 301300, Monday to Friday after 2pm, to make your appointment. Patients over 65 and over may be able to book their appointment online. 

We are asking the following groups of patients to get in touch to make an appointment: 

• Patients aged 65. If you are registered to use our online services please book online. Alternatively call us on the flu line to make your appointment. (Click here to book online)
• Patients under 65 with a long term condition, which means you normally receive the flu vaccine, please call us on the flu line to make your appointment.  
• Pregnant patients please call us on the flu line to make your appointment. 
• If you are registered with us a carer please call us on the flu line to make your appointment. 

Please call the flu line Monday to Friday, AFTER 2PM, to make your appointment - 01373 301300.

Unfortunately, we cannot currently take bookings for people aged 50 - 64 who do not have a long term condition or other eligibility factor.  Flu vaccinations for people aged over 50 without a long term condition are available from your local pharmacist.
