Clements Pharmacy in Radstock has taken delivery of the promised flu jabs and from December 1,will be able to offer free flu vaccines for the 50-64 year olds.

The jabs will also be free for other at risk categories as seen from the list in the photo. You will need to call to book an appointment on 01761 434687.

Individuals aged 50 to 64 are able to get the jab as part of the government's expansion of the initial phase of flu vaccinations because of coronavirus.

Meantime flu vaccine uptake is higher in all vulnerable groups except pregnant women compared with this time last year. Provisional data published by Public Health England last week showed 72.9% of those aged 65 and over, 45.0% of 2 year olds and 46.8% of 3 year olds have had their vaccine.

GPs, trusts and pharmacists have been ordering additional stock to vaccinate this new group from the centrally secured government supply of over 7 million vaccines.
