Adult Flu Vaccinations
Our adult flu vaccination clinics will be at Newport Pagnell Medical Centre on:

We have started sending invitations. We hope to vaccinate as many of our patients as possible, but we may not have capacity for everyone who is eligible. If you are unable to attend our vaccination clinics, you can also access NHS flu vaccines at local pharmacies.
Who is eligible?
You can get the free NHS flu vaccine if you:
- are aged 65 or over
- have certain long-term health conditions
- are pregnant
- live in a care home
- are the main carer for an older or disabled person, or receive a carer’s allowance
- live with someone who has a weakened immune system

COVID Booster Vaccinations
If you are eligible for a COVID booster vaccination, you can have this at the same time as your flu vaccination. If you are unable to attend our vaccination clinics, you can book on the NHS website or by calling 119.

Housebound
If you or your relative are housebound and unable to attend the medical centre, we will contact you to arrange to give your flu and COVID vaccines at home. If we have not vaccinated you at home before, please contact us to ensure that you are on our list.
Care Homes
If you or your relative are in a care home, you do not need to contact us. We will be visiting each of our care homes to administer flu and COVID vaccines, starting in October.
Children’s Flu Vaccinations
We will be offering flu vaccinations to children aged 2-3, and children under 18 who are in a vulnerable group. Clinics in October are open for booking and invitations are being sent out.
School-aged children who are not in a vulnerable group will receive their flu vaccination from the school immunisation team. We are not able to vaccinate these children at the medical centre. If your child has missed their flu vaccination at school, or is not currently attending school, please contact the school immunisation team on 0300 55 55 055.
