Hi all

Our first flu clinic on Saturday was a success with over 400 patients vaccinated 😀

We have another clinic this Saturday - this is a mixture of under 65s at risk and over 65s. We still have a few appointments left so please contact us if you are eligible and haven't got an appointment.

Please ring the main surgery number 812019 to book flu clinic appointments. We have put the flu line away for another year.

Thanks as always

**ONLINE ACCESS SCAM ALERT**

We’ve been made aware that some patients in England are receiving WhatsApp messages claiming to be from their GP practice.

These messages:

• Say you need to contact your GP and provide a link for online appointments (appearing to be from TPP)
• Then request payment or ask for bank details to verify your identity

👉 This is a scam. Do not click the link or provide any personal/bank details.

TPP are aware of this issue. Please stay vigilant and help spread the word to keep others safe.

Just a reminder that it is our first flu clinic tomorrow! This is for everyone who has an appointment that is over 65. We have got a few appointments available now, if you or anyone you know isn't booked in yet. Please give us a call to book.

Covid vaccines will also be offered to anyone who is eligible. The criteria has changed this year and is only available to those who are aged 75 and over and some who are immunosuppressed. This can be discussed when you come in.

Thanks and see you tomorrow!

Flu isn’t just a sniffle – it can lead to serious illness, especially in young children. Kids are known as "super spreaders" – they catch and pass on flu easily, often bringing it home to grandparents or younger siblings.

🛡️ The good news? The NHS flu vaccine is free, quick and needle-free (just a nasal spray!)

✅ For 2 & 3 year olds – book with their GP surgery
✅ For school-aged children – return the school consent form ASAP

🧒 Protect your child. 👵 Protect your family. 💙 Protect Cornwall.
