Please do not call us to book your vaccine

We will contact you when we are ready to book your appointment help to keep our phone lines free for those needing medical care by not calling to book your vaccine until we have invited you to do so – Thank you

FLU VACCINES

💉We are expecting the first delivery of our flu vaccines on Monday 12th September and from this date we will be sending out text messages and letters to eligible patients asking them to book into one of our Saturday ‘Flu Clinics’ between September and December

💉We will be inviting patients 65 and over and those with underlying conditions to book into our Flu Clinics initially and we will also be inviting all over 50s to attend for a flu vaccination in early November

COVID VACCINES

💉 In October we will take our delivery of COVID vaccines. We are receiving COVID vaccines to vaccinate:

1. Our housebound and care home patients
2. Patients aged 75 and over
3. Adults with a severely weakened immune system.

💉We will be contacting these patients to book one appointment to receive both their flu and COVID vaccine. The two vaccines will be administered at the same time in specific clinics here at the surgery

💉 If you are under 75 and would like to check if you are eligible to receive a booster, please click on this link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccination-autumn-booster-resources/a-guide-to-the-covid-19-autumn-booster.
