We offer flu vaccinations for children and adults through our clinic. Flu vaccination is one of the best ways to help protect yourself, your whānau, and the wider community during flu season.
Patients can book the regular way through the patient portal or by phoning our team. If you have a flu vaccine voucher, you can also use it with us.
Why get a flu vaccine?
Help protect yourself
The flu vaccine helps reduce your risk of getting influenza and can lessen how unwell you become if you do catch it.
Help protect others
Vaccination can also help protect tamariki, older adults, and people who are more at risk of serious illness from flu.
Reduce disruption
Getting vaccinated can help reduce time away from work, school, and everyday life during the flu season.
