The national seasonal flu vaccination campaign was launched this week and NHS Tayside is backing the call for those who are most at risk to protect themselves from flu.
The vaccine is available free of charge from GP practices for people in at-risk groups, pregnant women, those aged 65 years and over and unpaid carers.
Drop-in clinics and appointment-only clinics are being held in GP practices across the region, starting tomorrow.
Children aged between two and five who are not at school can also receive the new childhood flu immunisation at their GP surgery. Please contact the practice to arrange appointments.
All NHS Tayside staff and volunteers are also encouraged to take up the offer of a flu jab at staff clinics and participating community pharmacies across Tayside to protect themselves and vulnerable patients who may be more likely to suffer complications from flu.
