COVID INFO

Vaccinations

The Government and Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation have developed a schedule for vaccinating patients based on several factors. Whichever group you’re covered by, we’ll be in contact as soon as we can to offer you a vaccination. Please don’t contact the practice to arrange your appointment until we’ve informed you that we can provide you with a vaccination.

We are in the process of contacting patients to book appointments for COVID-19 vaccination. If you have symptoms of coronavirus, such as a high temperature, cough and loss of taste or smell, please don’t attend your appointment. Please contact the practice to rebook.

If you’re unable to attend your appointment for vaccination against COVID-19, please contact the practice to cancel your appointment as soon as possible. This will enable us to offer vaccination to someone else, and ensures that the vaccine isn’t wasted.

Groups:

1 Residents in a care home for older adults and their carers

2 All those 80 years of age and over and health and social care workers

3 All those 75 years of age and over

4 All those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals

5 All those 65 years of age and over

6 Individuals aged 16 to 64 years with underlying health conditions

7 All those 60 years of age and over

8 All those 55 years of age and over

9 All those 50 years of age and over

WE ARE CURRENTLY OFFERING THE SPRING BOOSTER TO: People aged 75 years and older, residents in care homes for older people, and those with weakened immune systems will be offered a spring booster of coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine.
