Flu Vaccination Clinics
Vaccine stock update: 3 November 2020
We are expecting a further supply of vaccine stock for the 18-64 age group towards the end of November, following an interruption to vaccine supply. We are now taking bookings for vaccinations for eligible patients in this age group. Please see our flu vaccinations update >>.
We are taking bookings for flu vaccinations at Taymount and Scone Surgeries for designated clinics.
The vaccine will initially be made available for the following groups:
- Patients over 65 years of age
- Patients aged 18-65 years of age who have a long term condition
- Household contacts of previously shielding patients
- Unpaid carers
- Pregnant ladies
- Social care workers (those who deliver direct personal care)
We are also taking bookings for household members of patients who were previously shielding, as long as they are registered with the practice.

What to expect at your appointment
Clinics will be run differently to the way they have done in previous years due to the social distancing guidance. As such, we would ask for your patience and that that you comply with the guidance we have brought in this year in order to keep you and our staff safe during the clinics.
To keep the length of time you are in the building to an absolute minimum, please keep the following information in mind:
- Attend alone where possible (unless you need assistance)
- Avoid bringing young children with you where possible
- Arrive as close to your appointment time as possible to avoid excessive queuing - please do not turn up early as we cannot take you any earlier
- Wear short sleeves under your outerwear
- Wear a face covering unless you are exempt from doing so
- Car parking will be at a premium - please consider parking further away and walking to the buildings if you are able to
- Appointments are for vaccination only
- Please DO NOT attend if you are unwell with any possible Covid-19 related symptoms on the day of your appointment.
