I have had a few enquiries about the flu vaccinations. This is being organised differently by NHS Grampian this year.

Colleagues from around Aberdeenshire have confirmed that letters have been received in their wards … but I haven’t heard of anyone getting a letter in North Kincardine yet.

I’m told that a batch were posted today and should arrive by the middle of next week.

Meanwhile, here is a link to the NHS Grampian flu vaccination website. The website has information on how the immunisations are being rolled out this year along with all the details as to who is eligible for a free vaccination.

The roll-out will happen over the next two months and not everyone who is eligible will get their letter immediately.

There is also information on how both social and health care staff can access a free vaccine.

UPDATE, 10 October: The postie has just delivered my invitation to attend Portlethen Academy for a jab. No doubt others will be receiving theirs too.
