Vaccinations for flu and Covid will start October 2025. The start of the vaccination season has been pushed back at the recommendation of the Joint commitee on Vaccination and immunication and will begin in October rather than the usual start of September.
We will be offering co-administartion with the Covid vaccine to anyone attending the Practice for the flu jab who is eligiblw, subject to Covid Vaccine availability.. Patients wanting the Covid vaccination only should ring 119 to arrange a vaccination with a local Covid Clinic.
The eligibility can change each year but typically the Flu vaccine is available to all aged over 65 years and those with a chronic disease or BMI over 40. All eligible patients are contacted by the Practice.
Many of the local pharmacies are also able to provide you with a free flu vaccine if you are eligible to receive on on the NHS
The criteria for the Covid Vaccination has changed this year and the Covid Vaccine will only be offered to patients aged 75 or over and those who are immunosuppressed. Those eligible will be offered both vaccines together (flu and covid)
