Flu Vaccinations 2025
Clinics now open to book, by following your text link or contacting the surgery.
Despite the warmer weather, we must look towards being ready for the winter months! Station Road Surgery is pleased to announce the release of appointments for the seasonal flu vaccination for the coming winter season.
Flu vaccination remains a critically important public health intervention to reduce morbidity and mortality in those most at risk including older people, pregnant women, and those in clinical risk groups. The eligibility for flu vaccination is based on the advice and recommendations of the Joint Committee for Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). This is reviewed each year.
Based on clinical evidence that the flu vaccine’s effectiveness can decrease over time in adults, the programme start for most adults will be in October. It is advised to vaccinate individuals closer to the time when the flu virus is likely to circulate (typically peaking in December or January) as this will give optimal protection during the highest risk period. Protection from the vaccine lasts longer in children and therefore we are requested to complete these earlier in the winter season to free up vaccinating for adults in October.
Texts with electronic booking links will be sent out in batches to eligible patients. If you prefer to book your appointment via telephone or in person, we would appreciate you doing so in the afternoons so that we can ensure our staff are able to deal with unwell patients needing to get through to us for assistance.
Please do not submit a triage request to book a flu vaccine.

Non-NHS Services
Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges.
Examples include the following:
- Medicals for pre-employment, sports and driving requirements (HGV, PSV etc.)
- Insurance claim forms.
- Prescriptions for taking medication abroad.
- Private sick notes.
- Vaccination certificates.
The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.
Travel Vaccinations
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to complete the form below, you can also collect one of these from the surgery. Once you have submitted your travel form our Practice Nurse will check if you require any travel vaccinations. If you require any vaccinations we will contact you to arrange an appointment.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below:
 Europe & Russia |  North America |
 Central America |  South America |
 Caribbean |  Africa |
 Middle East |  Central Asia |
 East Asia |  Australasia and Pacific |
It is important to complete the form as early as possible – at least 6 weeks before you travel – These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
