Brewood Medical Practice is offering a service this year for patients to have their seasonal flu vaccine and the Covid Autumn booster at the same time.
With last years uptake of both flu and Covid vaccines being so great, the decision has been made to streamline the service making Autumn 2022 a one-stop-shop!
Saturday 17th September – Flu and Covid for the OVER 65s (Brewood)
Sunday 18th September- Flu and Covid for the UNDER 65s AT RISK (Brewood)
Saturday 24th September – Flu and Covid for the OVER 65s (am) – UNDER 65s AT RISK (pm) (Wheaton Aston)

Both vaccines will be available (those who have had a Covid booster vaccine in the last 90 days or the Covid virus in the last 28 day will not be able to have the vaccine).
You can also choose to have one or the other if you wish. Eligible patients will be contacted via text message.
