Flu clinics

Staff are being invited to receive their free flu vaccine.

The vaccine is safe and cannot give you flu.

By getting the flu vaccine, you are reducing the risk of getting the flu virus yourself. You are also reducing the risk of affecting your family, colleagues and patients.

Next week, flu vaccination clinics will be held at the following locations:

Beckford Lodge, Beckford Street, Carluke Community Health Centre, Douglas Street Community Health Clinic, Kello Hospital, Ladyhome Hospital, Lanark Health Centre, Law House, Stonehouse Hospital, Udston Hospital, University Hospital Hairmyres, University Hospital Monklands and University Hospital Wishaw.

Full details of clinic times can be found on FirstPort.
