FLU VACCINES 2026 - URGENT PATIENT NOTICE

Friday September 11, 2026

We are very sorry to let you know that Sanofi has cancelled flu vaccine orders for many GP practices, including ours. Our team has worked hard to secure an alternative supply, but unfortunately this means there will be a short delay. We expect the vaccines to arrive during the week commencing 12 October. As the exact delivery day has not yet been confirmed, appointments will begin from 19 October.

The practice is committed to purchasing everyone a vaccine at a cost of £17. Because our original supplier has let us down, the replacement supplier is unable to offer a sale-or-return agreement, so the practice must meet the cost of any vaccines that are not used. If you book an appointment with us, we kindly ask that you attend and do not receive your vaccination elsewhere. If you choose to book with a pharmacy instead, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can offer your vaccine to another patient who needs it.

Thank you sincerely for your patience, understanding and continued support. Our staff have worked tirelessly to arrange these clinics alongside their usual duties because we care deeply about protecting our patients and want everyone to be vaccinated as soon as possible. Your cooperation will make a real difference and will help us ensure that no vaccine goes to waste.
