Social Care and Voluntary Sector Workers who provide direct care
Flu is serious! Help protect yourself, others and the NHS.
With COVID-19 around, it’s more important than ever to get the flu vaccine.
How to book an appointment
Flu vaccinations will be available to social care and voluntary workers who provide direct care at over 70 pharmacies across Grampian.
If you are attending a community pharmacy for your flu vaccination, please contact the pharmacy in advance as you may need to book an appointment.
Social care and voluntary sector personnel working in care homes and the community will be required to provide a letter from their manager authorising the vaccination (doc) and their ID badge.
Please find details here of the participating pharmacies in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray
High rates of staff vaccination will help:
- protect individual staff members
- limit sickness absence
- lower the risk of spreading the flu to those they care for.
