Flu Clinics 2020
|
|
Invitations for flu vaccinations are being sent via text, email or post in the coming days.
The majority of flu vaccinations will be delivery via the Drive Through facility at Eden Project
This has been jointly organised by local Public Health, Kernow CCG and GP practices.
St Austell Healthcare will have dedicated days at the drive through starting on the 6th of October.
Appointments for the Drive through can be booked via an Internet portal, the link will be in your invitation and will look like this https://vdt.app/cf/xxxx/xxxxxxxxxx
You may like to ask a family member , friend or carer to help you access the internet and web portal.
The emails originate from our clinical system, and will have an email address in the format of “mjog” and numbers. You can check that it is a genuine email by confirming that it contains your name, and that the link contains your NHS number.
Due to helpful patient feedback, it has come to our attention that the text link for the flu drive through sends an error code- error 404. Unfortunately the last 10 digits of your link (your NHS number) have not embedded into the text link appropriately. We are looking into why this is the case. Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience. If you hi-light the whole link and copy into your web browser it will then work.
We are resending some of the email invitations for the age group 18-64 years with an amended link. Please do not worry about the second email if you have already booked your flu appointment.
If you need help with your booking, please call 01872 309378 Monday-Friday 8am-1pm (This line is staffed by volunteers provided by the CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group). Please expect possible long waits to get through). Or call 07802 884402 or 07562 079485 Monday-Friday 1pm-5pm (These lines will be staffed by our surgery staff). Please do not call the main switchboard about flu appointments, as we need to keep this line free for patients with urgent medical problems.
If you cannot or will not be able to travel to Eden for your vaccine, then please ring the practice on 07802 884402 or 07562 079485 Monday-Friday 1pm-5pm and we can book you into a surgery based clinic. Please be mindful that theses clinics have very limited spaces and we would ask they are reserved for frail and vulnerable patients.
If you have booked an appointment for the drive through and but receive your vaccine at another time prior to this, please could you remember to cancel the drive through appointment for someone else to use.
We are grateful for your patience with booking a flu vaccination appointment this year. The drive through facility at Eden is a vital element in providing you with a safe and socially distanced flu vaccination this year. There is high demand for vaccinations and staff are doing their utmost to get calls answered as quickly as possible.

Some groups of patients are invited for the flu vaccine because they may be more susceptible to the effects of flu.
There are also plans for the flu vaccine to be given to people aged 50 to 64, and the government will provide more information on this later in the year.
