Influenza Campaign 2023/24

Our walk in flu clinic was on 18.9.23, we encourage those who could not attend our clinic and still require a flu jab to attend the surgery during weekdays (avoiding between 12-1.30pm) and give reception your details, one of our nursing team will do your vaccine in between patients . As instructed by NHS England it is only adults +65 without a medical condition eligible for a vaccine, different to previous years where those 50-65 were eligable, this is not the case this year.

Covid-19 Vaccines

1st and 2nd vaccines are now only available for children aged 6 months to 4 years old high at risk

Children aged 6 months to 4 years old who are at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 can get a 1st and 2nd COVID-19 vaccine.

Who can get a booster dose

The NHS should contact you if you’re eligible for a seasonal booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

You may be offered a seasonal booster if you are:

  • aged 65 years old or over (you need to be 65 years old by 31 March 2024)
  • aged 6 months to 64 years old and are at increased risk
  • living in a care home for older adults
  • a frontline health or social care worker

You can make your appointment using the link on your text invite or on the NHS website or by calling 119 free of charge between 7am and 11pm.

If you have any questions about your vaccine, please contact the National Booking Service, call 119 or our local vaccine contact centre on 0191 283 1925.

You can also find more information on Covid-19 vaccines on the NHS website or Gov.uk.

Vaccine certificates

We are unable to issue Covid-19 vaccine certificates at the practice.

Please see the Government website for further information.

Proof of your vaccination status will be available on the NHS app, (which is also valuable for accessing your health records and ordering repeat prescriptions). 

You can download the NHS app from the app store or Google Play.

Alternatively, you can call 119 and ask for a letter to be posted to you. This must be at least five days after you’ve completed your course of the vaccine. The letter may to take up to five days to reach you.
