We are now encouraging patients in the eligible groups to book in for their Spring Covid booster vaccinations. Texts are now being sent out inviting patients to attend. Please call us non-urgently after 10.30am if you wish to book in.

DATE: FRIDAY 4th APRIL (9.30am to 4.30pm)

SPRING COVID BOOSTER—am I in the eligible group?

The following groups of people are eligible for a Covid booster:

  • Anyone aged 75 and over
  • People living in a care home for older people
  • Anyone 18 to 74 who is SEVERELY IMMUNOSUPPRESSED.

Guidance on conditions that mean someone is severely immunosuppressed can be found on the gov.uk website HERE

Please note: medically ‘at risk’ patients who are not immunosuppressed, are NOT eligible for the Spring Boosters.

As we have not been commissioned to provide Covid Vaccinations to young people who are aged 5 to 17, other local clinics will be offering these. 

If you are turning 75 years of age between April and June this year, you do not have to wait until your birthday.
