Find out more on our Influenza Vaccine page.
To avoid disappointment we are only allowing Flu Clinic appointment bookings once the vaccines have arrived at the practice. If the flu vaccine that you're eligible for (government or private) is not in our vaccine fridge at the time of your enquiry you will be prompted to "reserve" a vaccine. Patients who have reserved a vaccine are "waitlisted" and will receive an automated SMS inviting them to book a Flu Vaccine Clinic appointment as soon as the vaccine arrives at GHFP.
