Southmead Surgery
The new RSV ‘winter virus’ vaccine will be offered for eligible patients from mid-September 2024.
Our first clinic for patients aged 75-79 years will be held on Monday 16th September.  You can receive this vaccine up until the day you turn 80. Please call reception to book your appointment. Older adults are more at risk of serious complication from RSV. Please see NHS leaflet for more information https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/rsv-vaccine/
Please note, the RSV vaccine cannot be given at the same time as influenza ‘flu’. The influenza vaccine will be available after 3rd October. We encourage patients to wait until offered by the practice as it has been shown to be more effective if given from mid-Autumn; protecting you during the peak winter months. Covid boosters will be available at the same time as flu for patients in eligible groups. https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2024/08/02/whos-eligible-for-the-2024-covid-19-vaccine-or-autumn-booster/
Walk in clinics will be announced soon.
