October Flu Vaccination Clinic 

 

Important information: October flu vaccination clinic open for reservations

Registered patients who are eligible for a flu vaccination are being invited to reserve their vaccine ahead of our October clinic.

Patients who are also eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination, may be able to have both vaccines at the same appointment.

Your invitation will explain which vaccination, or vaccinations, you are being offered and what you need to do next.

Flu and COVID-19 viruses can change over time, and the protection provided by previous vaccinations can reduce. Having the vaccinations you are eligible for can help protect you from becoming seriously unwell this winter.

 

Vaccination clinic date

Our vaccination clinic will take place at Eaton Socon Health Centre, 274 Great North Road, Eaton Socon, PE19 8BB, on:

  • Saturday 17 October 2026, from 8am to 5pm

Uptake will be monitored, and additional clinic dates will be scheduled if required.

 

Reserving your vaccination

We have started inviting eligible patients. Your invitation may arrive by text message, letter, email, NHS app message or phone call.

Please read your invitation carefully and follow the instructions to reserve your vaccination.

If you receive an online reservation link, please use it. Once you have reserved your vaccination, we will use this information to plan our clinics and will contact you with your appointment details or explain what will happen next.

If you need support, please call us on 01480 406 677 or speak to the reception team

Who can have the COVID-19 vaccine?

Eligibility for flu and COVID-19 vaccinations is different. This means not everyone who is eligible for a flu vaccination will also be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination.

Where available, patients who are eligible for both flu and COVID-19 vaccinations may be offered both at the same appointment.

If you live in a care home or are housebound, we will contact you to arrange your vaccination.

Please wait to hear from us. You do not need to contact the practice unless we ask you to.
