Covid Vaccine

For autumn 2025, COVID-19 vaccination will be offered to:

  • adults aged 75 years and over
  • residents in care homes for older adults
  • individuals who are immunosuppressed aged 6 months and over

This represents a change from the autumn 2024 programme, which also included adults aged 65 to 74 and all those aged 6 months and over in a clinical risk group.

All eligible patients will receive an invitation by text, phone, or letter. To help ensure a smooth process for everyone, we kindly ask that you book your appointment online if possible. If you are in an eligible group and have not received your invitation by 25 September, please contact the practice at that time. We respectfully request that you refrain from contacting us to chase invitations before this date.

Patients who are housebound (can only leave the house by ambulance) will received the offer of a vaccination at home.

Non-urgent advice: Please note

The eligible criteria for Covid Vaccination has changed from previous years.
