We expect our first delivery of pre-allocated government-funded influenza vaccinations, to arrive in mid-April. If you are eligible to receive a free (gov-funded) flu shot, please click on one of the BOOK A FLU VAX buttons below, to see clinic dates and make your appointment – please do not phone us.

If you miss out please don’t become anxious – there will be plenty of upcoming opportunities to book your flu shot. We will continually receive allocated stock, however, delivery is out of our control. Your patience and understanding are much appreciated.
