We kindly ask that patients attend the surgery for their vaccination whenever possible.
Vaccines must be ordered and planned up to a year in advance, with only limited options for returns. Unfortunately, any unused doses must be paid for by the practice and are then destroyed. Your attendance helps us reduce waste and manage resources more effectively
