Important update❗️
Due to a fire yesterday at Southampton General Hospital, A&E are currently only able to see patients with life or limb threatening conditions.
If you would normally have attended UHS for a non-life-threatening issue, please submit an Anima and we will do our best to help and advise.
Please be aware that we expect to be busier than usual as a result, and we appreciate your patience during this time. Thank you.

MMRV is now part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme, replacing the MMR vaccine.

It protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

Chickenpox is very common and can sometimes lead to serious complications, so vaccination helps reduce the risk of serious illness as children grow.

You don’t need to do anything — we will be in touch when your child is due.

Admission rates to hospital with influenza are still rising. We have added some additional flu vaccine appointments over the next 2 weeks for patients who are eligible and have not yet had their vaccination this season (since September).
There is availability at all three sites.
Please book on the NHS app, or call us.
Please only book if you are eligible - if you are not eligible we are not able to give you the vaccine and you will be turned away!
