Alert
COVID SWABS. Unfortunately GPs do NOT have access to covid testing, so please do NOT contact the surgery asking for a swab. These tests are run by the government and are ONLY accessible via the government website or by calling 119. Thank you.

Stowhealth Flu Vaccination Clinics For Patients
Aged 50-64
Stowhealth will be holding ‘walk in’ flu jab clinics to vaccinate our 50-64 year olds.
Please attend according to the first letter of your surname on the following dates:
*Sunday 6th December 9am-1pm Surnames beginning A-F
*Sunday 13th December 10am-2pm Surnames beginning G-M
*Sunday 20th December 11am- 3pm Surnames beginning N-Z
You DO NOT need to contact us to book an appointment slot.
There is no need to rush - vaccinators will be available throughout the sessions
Please prepare to help us by:
· Not attending if you have symptoms of COVID-19 (new cough, temperature, loss of sense of smell +/- taste), a positive COVID swab result in the last 10 days or you are awaiting a COVID swab result. Also if you have had contact with someone with COVID symptoms or a positive swab.
· Wearing clothing that you can quickly and easily remove to expose your upper arm of choice. (Most people choose their non-dominant arm).
· Being prepared to wait in a socially distanced queue, some of which may be outside.
· Walking to the surgery if possible to free up space in our car park.
· Not attending if you have a severe allergy to eggs or any previous vaccinations.
