Are you eligible to top up your COVID-19 protection this spring?

While you might have received your COVID-19 vaccine during winter or in past ‘Spring Booster’ campaigns, the criteria for this year’s spring vaccine have changed slightly:

Adults aged 75 years and over.
Residents in a care home for older adults.
Individuals aged 6 months and over who have a weakened immune system.

As you can see, the criteria are similar to the spring 2022 and spring 2023 booster campaigns, but this year the criteria for the immunosuppressed group has lowered to include those 6 months and over.

Pressure on the service

Image result for one appointment one problem

We are increasingly finding that when patients are booking an appointment they are attending with multiple issues at once. If you have booked a single appointment please note we can only safely deal with one thing in that time. Each appointment is between 10-15 minutes long and the clinical teams would rather deal thoroughly with one issue at a time. You may be asked to rebook should you present with multiple issues. This causes delays to surgeries, patients waiting a long time in the waiting areas and undue pressure on the clinical staff. We thank you for your consideration of this.
