they can detect early signs of disease, which is easily
treated. A call and recall system is operated by the Health

reception for an appointment.

how to check for any changes in their breasts. If you notice
any lumps please arrange to see your doctor as soon as
possible.

recommended that patients with diabetes, chronic lung
diseases (including asthma), chronic heart disease, chronic
kidney disease and patients with reduced immunity take
advantage of this vaccination.
