Flu Vaccination Clinics – Starting Early September

 

The flu season is approaching, and our annual flu vaccination programme will begin from early September.

We encourage eligible patients at North Hyde Practice to book their flu vaccination appointment as soon as possible.

You will be able to book in one of two ways:

  • By Phone: Call the practice on 0208 573 8560
  • By SMS Link: We will be sending eligible patients a text message towards the end of August with a link to self-book your appointment directly from your phone device.
