Winter flu vaccinations: If you’ve received a text message from us to book your flu vaccine, it’s important to do it as soon as you can

As we head into winter, it’s important to get vaccinated against flu. You’ll be protecting yourself, your loved ones, and people in your community from becoming unwell.

The vaccines are available to young children (2 – 3-year-olds), those who are pregnant, people aged 65 and over and those with certain long-term health conditions.

If you are eligible, you will receive a text message with instructions on how to book an appointment at your Northumbria Primary Care GP practice.

By choosing to be vaccinated at your registered NPC practice, you can receive your vaccine in a familiar environment, and your health records can be updated instantly.

If you believe you are eligible but have not yet been contacted, please get in touch with your registered NPC practice reception team.

Thank you for helping us create a winter safe environment for everyone.
