It’s not too late! … for your Autumn Covid and your Annual Flu Boosters

It’s not too late!

If you missed your Autumn Covid and your Annual Flu Boosters, it’s not too late to still have them.

For some people, Flu or Covid is unpleasant. But for many, particularly those with certain health conditions, older people, or pregnant women, they can be very dangerous and even life-threatening. In winter, Flu and Covid spread more easily as we spend more time indoors.

Vaccines are our best protection against Flu and Covid. If eligible, you are encouraged to have the vaccinations as they provide the best possible protection against the latest Covid variant. It is important to top up your protection, even if you have had a vaccine or been ill with Flu or Covid before, as immunity fades over time and these viruses change each year.

We have a small quantity of both vaccines available for eligible patients. The vaccinations are free to all adults aged 65 years and over, people aged 6 months to 64 years in a clinical risk group, frontline health and social care workers, people aged 12 to 64 years who are a household contact of people with immunosuppression, and people aged 16 to 64 who are carers or staff working in care homes.

We will soon be contacting our patients who have not had their Autumn/Winter boosters as we will be having some small clinics in the New Year. In the meantime, if you would like to reserve your vaccines and book your vaccination for January 2024, please contact us as soon as possible. Please call us on 01692 403015.
