The eligible cohorts are:

• All adults aged 65 years and over and those who will turn 65 before 31st March 2024
• Persons aged 6 months to 64 years in a clinical risk group
• Frontline health and social care worrkers
• Persons aged 12 to 64 years who are household contacts (as defined in the Green Book) of people with immunosuppression
• Persons aged 16 to 64 years who are carers (as defined in the Green Book) and staff working in care homes for older adults
• Patients aged 50 - 64 years not in an at risk group are not eligible on the NHS this year.   

We have been instructed by NHS England to co-administer the Covid and Flu vaccines this campaign.

Appointments can be booked via the link on your invitation and we encourage you to make use of this self-booking system whenever possible and kindly request that you refrain from contacting the practice before receiving your official invitation.
