Thank you for all your interest in the flu vaccine.
Due to high demand, all current appointments are fully booked, as the number of requests has exceeded the supply of vaccines.
However, we understand that some appointments are missed or not attended, so we expect to be able to offer additional appointments going forward. Please keep an eye out for updates from us.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
