This is great news for patients (and staff) from South Tees Hospitals !

If you're aged 75 to 79, or you're pregnant (from 28 weeks of pregnancy), the Practice will offer you a vaccination. RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus) is a common cause of coughs & colds and can be serious for babies and older adults. The vaccine helps reduce this risk.

If antibiotics stop working, we could see bacterial infections wreak havoc as they did before the miracle of modern medicine. 🦠 Here are simple measures we can all take to keep antibiotics working for us. 👇

Remember, you can track what's happening with your prescriptions by opening the NHS App. Open the App and choose "View and manage prescriptions". There is no need to call the surgery (responding takes much telephone time as we receive so many calls to check progress).

Here's the November / December edition of the Newsletter. Please pass it on to anyone who might be interested. Patients who have mobile phones registered with the Practice will soon receive a pdf copy by text. linthorpesurgery
