Disease Protection

In this rural area, we would recommend everyone to be up to date with tetanus protection.  We frequently give a polio booster is association with this.  The procedure for tetanus protection has however changed recently and the time interval for adults increased to 10 years.  Because of your occupation, you may benefit from protection from Hepatitis B.  We also advise immunisation from Pneumonia and an  annual Influenza immunisation if you are aged over 65  or at risk because of chronic illness.  IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT – PLEASE ASK.
