It’s that time of year again! As we begin to give out our seasonal flu vaccinations, we would encourage our patients to understand the following:

• We are very pleased to announce that you now have the ability to choose where you wish to have your flu vaccination!
• We are working together with Rowden Surgery this year to make it as easy as possible to attend for your vaccine. You will receive an invitation from us that will allow you to directly book straight into a hosted drive-through located at Abbeyfield School (Stanley Lane, Chippenham, SN15 3XB) or call on 01249 454541.
• Please be aware that neither option is a walk-in clinic, therefore when you receive a link via text or phone message, please follow the instructions to book your appointment.
• Due to limited parking spaces at Rowden, please walk or use public transport where possible.
• EGG ALLERGY WARNING: Please attend the Rowden Surgery clinic if you have an allergy to eggs, as our vaccinations are cell based rather than egg based.
• We will use a one-way system through the surgery to ensure that patients are seen to quickly and efficiently, and members of staff will guide you to an available vaccinator.
• If needed, please ensure you bring walking aids.
• Do not attend if you have any COVID symptoms, such as a persistent cough, fever, lost of taste or smell.
• Please wear weather appropriate clothing as you may need to wait outside for a few minutes due to occasional small queues.

Rowden Surgery’s first clinics are Friday 17th 2pm-6pm and all day on Saturday 18th September 9am-6pm (closed between 1pm-2pm).

Hathaway Surgery’s drive through clinic is on Saturday 18th September 9am-3pm.
