Vaccination Clinic Update

While it is still early in the flu season, and many other practices have yet to start their flu clinics. Our surgery were lucky in that we received some of our vaccine early this year. In many cases, other local practices will not be starting to book in patients until late September/early October.

While our delivery of flu stock came earlier than some, it is only a partial delivery and more is due in mid-October. Therefore we will be adding on additional clinics later in October when our remaining delivery arrives.

For our over 65 patients, we have added on enough clinics for the vaccine we have in stock. If you have received a text invitation and been unable to book an appointment, a further invitation will be sent out to you in October when we confirm delivery of our remaining stock and additional clinics have been added on.

For our patients under 65 and eligible for the vaccine. Clinics will be added on in early October.

Covid vaccinations will be subject to availability on the day, as we will not have confirmation of arrival dates or quantity until 24 hours before they are delivered. If you have booked in for a Covid vaccination and we do not have one available for you. You can book your Covid vaccination via 119 – with the closest vaccination site being The Hawthorns surgery.

Inevitably some patients will fail to show up for their booked appointments and we will have excess vaccines, in that case some smaller weekday clinics will be added on for patients to book into. Check our website for details of these clinic dates.

If you don’t want to wait, then your local pharmacy will be running flu clinics too and you can contact 119 to book your Covid vaccination. Please contact them directly for more information.

Thank you
