Petworth faces flu jab delay due to 'freight challenges'

Petworth Surgery was due to receive a batch of vaccines on Thursday (September 9) but following 'unforseen road freight challenges' the jabs are not expected to arrive for another two weeks.

The surgery has said it is currently unable to provide a date for the arrival of the jabs but said anyone looking to book one in can do so provisionally.

In a statement posted to social media, a spokesman for Petworth Surgery said: "We were due to receive our vaccines on the September 9 and were ready to start booking clinics however, we've just been told due to unforeseen road freight challenges, our scheduled flu vaccine delivery will be approx. Two weeks late!
