- Review of notes from last meeting – 2 October 2018
We reviewed the notes from the last meeting. A couple of matters arising were brought up - Nurse Roz Gilbert – Flu Vaccination Programme 2018/19
Roz came along to the meeting and gave people an update on the flu vaccination programme for this winter. The new development this year is that there is a different flu vaccine for people aged 65 and over. These people will receive Fluad which is understood to give better protection to this age group. And people in ‘at risk’ groups aged under 65 will receive a Quad vaccine which protects against 4 strains of flu.
Roz also talked about the other vaccinations that we offer including shingles and pneumonia vaccine. If you would like to find out if you are eligible for any of these vaccinations please contact Reception.
