KILSYTH MEDICAL GROUP
POWER OUTAGE IN KILSYTH
We now have power back at the surgery.
If you missed out on your appointment while the surgery
was closed, please call us to reschedule or book online.
VACCINES
Unfortunately due to the power outage, our vaccine fridge could
not maintain its temperature. All of our vaccine stock
was compromised and can no longer be used.
This means all upcoming appointments
for Flu & Covid-19 vaccines have been cancelled.
Staff will call to rebook all vaccine appointments
as soon as new stock arrives.
We thank you for your patience.

Flu Vaccine Information
Flu vaccines are now available for all age groups.
Getting a flu shot is the most important measure to prevent influenza and its complications.
An annual flu shot is recommended for all people aged 6 months and over.
This year the flu vaccine will be administered in a normal consultation with your GP.
We will not be taking names for waiting lists or running flu vaccine clinics.
PLEASE NOTE: There must be at least 14 days in between having a flu vaccine and a Covid-19 vaccine.
Who can get a flu shot for free?
If you are over 65 and eligible for a government vaccine, please ensure to book at our surgery with one of our GP's to receive the correct vaccine for your age group, to be supervised in the event of an adverse reaction and to have the vaccine documented in your patient file.
If you are not eligible for a government-funded free vaccine, the cost of the vaccine is $20.
Brief appointments solely for the purpose of receiving a flu vaccine are usually bulk-billed. If your doctor addresses other issues in the same appointment you will be charged our usual fee.
