Practice Announcement: Home Visits
Dear Patients,
The company supplying our order of flu vaccines 2026 has cancelled the order: due to manufacturing issues. There is an issue affecting a number of vaccine suppliers nationally.
Sacriston Surgery has managed to source an alternative supply of vaccines.
However, delivery will be later than desired.
We expect to be delivering flu vaccines mid-October onwards.
More details to follow September 2026.
We apologise for this: it is totally out of our control.
Regards,
Sacriston Surgery
Carers
Do you help a family member, friend or neighbour with shopping, appointments, medication, paperwork, personal care, or simply checking they're okay?
You may be an unpaid Carer without realising it.
Many people provide unpaid care and support but don't identify as Carers, meaning they miss out on help that's available to them!
