Flu vaccinations are more important than ever this year in the fight against Covid-19. If you have been offered one by your GP or employer, then please do get one.
More people are eligible than ever before for flu vaccinations this year, which places huge pressure on our local GPs and Pharmacies. The Stevenage Drive-Through Flu clinics being run by the Stanmore Medical Group have been a huge success, as getting a flu jab is more important than ever this year in the fight against Covid-19.
Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, said, “Stanmore Medical Group have come up with an innovative idea this year and launched a series of drive-through flu clinics. I was delighted to visit the clinic at Leys School, which kindly provided the site, and Oli Khan OBE of Surma restaurant provided hot meals for the staff and army cadets marshalling traffic. It was yet another brilliant example of the community coming together.
“The patients arrived in cars, rolled down their windows and had the jab given to them. Patients without cars could walk in and have their flu jab too.”
Dr Prag Moodley, added “The drive-through clinic was a great success, it allowed us to administer the flu vaccine to our patients in a way that was safe for us and our patients. We had lots of positive comments from our patients and staff.“
