Swine flu vaccine patience urged

MERSEYSIDE NHS organisations are asking people to be patient as the swine flu vaccine is delivered to GP surgeries.

Patients in the priority vaccination groups will be contacted by letter from their GP surgery.

Dr Paula Grey, Director for Public Health for Liverpool, said: “The swine flu vaccination delivery programme is a rolling one which will see all GP practices receiving their first batch of swine flu vaccines by the middle of November. The delivery plan will ensure vaccines reach every part of the country as soon as possible.”
