Update: Covid Booster Vaccines are currently offered to patienst over 70 years of age (22.09.2021)

There has been a lot in the press in regard to COVID vaccination boosters however there remains a lot of uncertainty around this area. 

At the present time, there has been no official guidance from NHS England to state whether boosters are going to be administered, or to state the type of vaccine that is going to be used, or to state what population group are likely to be offered booster doses. As such, we are still waiting for further clarification on Covid-19 Booster Vaccinations. Please do not call reception to request information about booster vaccines; we will update our website as we receive further information.

We must ensure that our local population is also still vaccinated against the common flu virus. Seasonal flu is a highly infectious viral illness that can cause serious complications in vulnerable people/people suffering from long term chronic conditions.
