Our recent after hours flu clinics held over the weekend proved a hit with hundreds of patients taking the opportunity to get a flu shot before the flu season arrives. This was a new initiative by Busselton Medical Practice to protect older people from exposure to disease.
The after hours clinics have been such a success that they will continue over the coming weekends. The clinics will cater for all patients that are eligible for Government funded vaccines.
