Dear Patients,
We were told at short notice that our original flu vaccine order would not be fulfilled as planned. This is due to a national manufacturing and supply issue across the country.
Our flu vaccination clinics are planned well in advance, including ordering the vaccines we need. Being told at short notice that our original order could not be supplied has meant we have had to change our planned clinic dates.
We know many patients will already have seen information about our planned flu clinics, so we wanted to let you know about the changes as soon as possible.
Our team has acted quickly and worked with vaccine suppliers and NHS partners to secure replacement flu vaccines.
We have now secured replacement stock. However, the vaccines will arrive later than originally planned.
Our new flu vaccination clinics will take place at Lakeside Surgery, Cottingham Road, on:
• Saturday 17 October 2026
• Saturday 24 October 2026
• Saturday 31 October 2026
Our new vaccination clinic at Brigstock Surgery will take place on Monday 19 October 2026, from 8.30am to 12.30pm.
If you have already booked an appointment on a clinic date, that has now been postponed. You do not need to contact the practice to rebook. Your appointment will be automatically moved, and you will be notified about the new clinic date.
You only need to contact us if you are unable to attend the new appointment date and would like to rearrange your appointment.
If you wish to cancel your appointment without rebooking, please call the surgery on 01536 204154 and press option 4 to cancel an appointment.
We are sorry for any inconvenience these changes may cause. Thank you for your patience and understanding while our team has worked to secure replacement vaccines and put new clinic arrangements in place.
