Flu Vaccine Shortages

You may have seen the latest news, that supplies of this year's flu vaccine are running low.  As a result, health providers are being advised to limit vaccinations to the most vulnerable and patients who are considered by the MOH to be high risk.  Please contact the practice if you have any questions.

about

I am a vocationally registered General Practitioner. I trained at Auckland University and chose to go into general practice as I really enjoy forming long term relationships with my patients and providing healthcare in a wider context. My work encompasses all areas of general practice, including minor surgery, IUCD/Mirena insertion. Paediatrics is a favourite area. I have three young adult children, two of them are still living at home. Outside of work I enjoy bushwalking, gardening and handicrafts.
