Protecting yourself from Flu and Covid-19

Posted by: charlottefagan - Posted on:

Greenhead Family Doctors is committed to keeping our patients healthy. We offer both flu and Covid-19 vaccinations in line with the latest NHS recommendations.

Why get Vaccinated?

Flu and Covid-19 are both highly contagious respiratory illnesses. Vaccination is the most effective way to protect yourself from serious illness, hospitalization, and even death. Getting vaccinated also helps to protect those around you who may be more vulnerable, such as young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
