Children
Immunisations are essential to protect children from serious illness. We run a computerised recall system to remind parent's when their child's vaccinations are due. Vaccinations for young children, those 8 weeks of age are given by a GP. All other vaccinations are given by Gill Gibbon, a member of our health visiting team. Immunisation clinics for children run weekly, each Monday afternoon from 1.00 - 3.30 pm from our main surgery in Selby
The Department of Health revised the routine childhood immunisation programme in September 2006.

Adults
Most vaccinations (including yellow fever) are given by the Practice Nurses. We stock most, but some unusual injections may need to be ordered. Whilst common injections are still available on the NHS, rarer ones are not, and a fee will be charged for them. You will be advised of the cost before the injection is ordered. Certificates for travel are available and a fee will be charged for completion of these. Adults are advised to have Tetanus and Polio boosters every 10 years.
Each autumn we run a Flu injection campaign, particularly important for those most at risk; those aged over 65, diabetics, asthmatics, those with chronic heart disease, chest and kidney problems.

Travel Clinic
Most travel vaccinations, along with more
comprehensive travel advice, are available at the surgery you usually use. These
clinics are run by the Practice Nurses and are by appointment only. In
order for us to fully assess the need for travel vaccinations we ask patients to
complete a form detailing their travel arrangements prior to making an
appointment (see below)
