Flu Vaccination Clinics
Flu clinics will start running at Woodlands Medical Centre from October.
We have weekend clinics on Saturday 4th and 18th October. Please contact the practice on 02920 591444 to book your appointment or your can book via the NHS Wales App.
During September, we will be vaccinating all children aged 2-3 years old (date of birth between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2023). If your child attends school, then they will receive their nasal flu spray at school.
For all those aged 65 years or over (date of brith on or after 01/04/1961) or in a clinical risk group as listed below, you will be vaccinated from the start of October 2025.

If you are eligible for a shingles or pneumococcal vaccination, these will be given alongside the flu vaccine.
The pneumococcal vaccine helps protect against serious illnesses like pneumonia and meningitis. It is recommended for people at higher risk of these illness, such as babies and adults aged 65 or older.
For shingles eligibility, please see information on the Woodlands News page.
The RSV vaccine will be administered by the health board. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common winter virus. Babies under one year of age and adults over 75 years are at the greatest risk of being hospitalised and therefore a RSV vaccination programme will start this year. The vaccination will be offered to adults as they turn 75 years old and pregnant women at 28 weeks gestation.
