Flu vaccine delivery delays

Practices across the UK have been informed today that flu vaccine deliveries from the supplier Seqirus are going to be delayed by at least one or two weeks due to 'unforeseen freight challenges'. That means that UK General Practices will be without vaccines, possibly until the beginning of October. This is completely outside of their control.

Your GP Practice will continue to work hard to change their existing plan and ensure that as soon as confirmed delivery dates are received patients will be contacted and appointments booked.

We have been affected by a nationwide supply issue relating to blood test tubes used by hospitals and GP surgeries. Anyone who needs a test for urgent health problems, will still get one but where your clinician recommends it’s safe to do so, then we may ask you to come back for a test at a later date, or your appointment may be rescheduled.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but this is beyond our control.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
