Welshpool doctors to close for flu jabs

Welshpool Medical Centre will be closed on a number of afternoons in the coming seven weeks to allow for the flu jabs to be administered.

The Powys-wide flu vaccination programme has been launched and it has been confirmed that Welshpool surgery will be closed on October 13, 20 and 27 as well as November 3 and 9.

“We ask that patients do not contact or visit their GP practice during this time,” said a spokesperson. “Routine requests such as appointments, repeat prescriptions and test results should be made another day.

“Any patients of closed practices needing urgent GP care during these afternoons should contact Shropdoc on 01743 455364. Practice telephones will also be diverted to the Shropdoc number.”
