FLU/COVID VACCINATIONS
FLU VACCINATION UPDATE
We are now carrying out all the planning and preparation for this year's flu vaccination clinic!
Under the government's direction, we can offer flu vaccination from 01 September for the following patient groups, and we will send invitations to attend the surgery to all those that are eligible.
- Pregnant ladies
- All children aged 2 – 3 years
- 6 months to 17 years with certain long-term health conditions
- 18 years – 25 years and on SEN register
The MAIN EVENT clinic will be held all day on Saturday 11 October at Elvington Medical Practice. Eligibility for this clinic is for:
- Those aged 18 years to under 65 years in clinical risk groups
- Those aged 65 years and over (including those who are 64 but will be 65 on or before 31 March 2026)
- Carers in receipt of carer’s allowance, or those who are the main carer of an elderly or disabled person
- Close contacts of immunocompromised individuals
We shall be offering both the FLU vaccination and COVID booster. You can choose on the day if you would like to receive both vaccinations.
We will be sending invitations to everyone that is eligible to attend the MAIN EVENT vaccination day from the 30th of August.
It does take a lot of time, planning and of course the generosity of our teams who give up their weekend to make this day happen for our patients. We will of course be carrying out some later clinics for those that are away and unable to make the 11th October but, please do support your local practice so that we can continue to support you.
We look forward to seeing everyone for another jam-packed vaccination season.
