Call us (03) 3725190 to book a time with our nurse.

Appointments are available in clinic from 3rd of April while stocks last.

Book into our FLU CLINIC online here or call Inspire Health Reception (03) 3725190. We encourage all registered patient to have their flu jab at Inspire Health rather than using an outside provider as it allows us to ensure accurate health records and follow up if required.

Influenza can be very serious and even fatal; everyone is at risk regardless of age and fitness. In 2017 1 in 4 New Zealanders caught the flu. Catching the flu can affect work and school schedules, holidays and social activities, and even financial and mental health. The immunisation prepares your body to fight off infection and lessens your risk of becoming sick or passing on sickness.

In 2023 the flu jab is FREE for:

Children 6 months to 12 years old.
Anyone 65 years and over.
Māori and Pasifika people 55 years and over.
Pregnant people.
People with long term conditions, including mental health and addiction.
If you believe you should be eligible for a funded immunisation talk to reception when booking.

This year there is also a second vaccination option available for those 65 years and older. FLUAD® Quad is the only flu vaccine containing MF59® Adjuvant, designed to help your body create more antibodies to help fight influenza. For those over 65 years it provides more protection for longer. This option is unfunded, talk to reception when you book in.

– Online booking will not be available until Alert Level 1. Please give us a call to arrange an appointment.

– We will continue phone consults as much as possible.

– Face-to-face appointments are limited. If your appointment can be done over the phone, please let us know.

– If you do have a face-to-face appointment, we ask that you do not come too early. Waiting area will have limited seating to allow social distancing, so if it is full you may be asked to wait in your car until the doctor/nurse is ready to see you.

– We ask that only the person with the appointment comes in, or with 1 support person if needed.

Mask MUST be worn when coming in to the clinic.

Scanning of Covid-19 tracer or manual registration is mandatory.

Bookings are essential – Please phone reception on 3725190 to book an appointment with our nurse.

If you are not a patient of Inspire Health Medical Practice, Kiwi Pharmacy (next door) will also be giving flu vaccinations.

Covid-19 Vaccinations – Update

To roll out the largest vaccination programme in our history we are vaccinating people in groups, starting with those most likely to catch the virus and those most at risk of getting sick.

Our focus is on continuing to get those in Groups 1 and 2 vaccinated and those in Group 3* booked and vaccinated.

Canterbury is currently working through a small number of people in Group 3. Everyone in Group 3 will be contacted by CDHB to book their vaccination by the end of July either by text, letter or email.

Please note timeframes may vary and we will let you know if the planned timings change.
