"Flu vaccine"

About: Oxford Tce & Rawling Rd Medical Group

Tried to get a flu vaccine here, told by receptionist sorry you don't meet the criteria, I explained I'm working with Covid patients in an intensive care unit but NO. So much for frontline staff in your criteria

Unfortunately we are unable to offer flu vaccinations for occupational health purposes. We have limited supplies which we need to ensure are given to our patients in at risk groups who could become seriously ill if they were to get flu. Frontline staff should get the flu vaccination but when it is needed for occupational health purposes they should be vaccinated by their employer. We provide vaccination for all of our staff as do hospitals and other GP practices. However if your employer has been unable to offer this for any reason please get in touch with me and we will see what we can do to help.

Teresa Graham, Practice Manager
