Flu and COVID clinics 2024

This Autumn, Drs Reddy and Nunn will be providing Flu AND Covid vaccinations for eligible patients in a range of clinics. 

We WILL be offering Covid vaccines to:

  • ALL patients who are 65yrs and over
  • Patients aged 18 – 64yrs who are clinically “at risk”

(We will NOT be able to offer Covid vaccines to any eligible under 18yr olds. These patients will need to book to have their Covid vaccine on the National Booking System).

We WILL be offering Flu vaccines to:

  • ALL patients who are 65yrs and over
  • Patients 18 – 64yrs old who are clinically “at risk”
  • Children aged 2-3  and under 18s who are clinically “at risk”

Joint COVID and flu clinics

Patients 65yrs and over AND 18 – 64yr olds who are clinically at risk – In line with this year’s Government and JVCI guidance, patients in these cohorts will be invited to Drs Reddy and Nunn to attend joint Covid and Flu vaccination clinics, where we will give one vaccine in each arm. These clinics will be held on:

  • Sunday 27th October 08:30 – 17:30

Further clinics are being held during the week

Co-administration of both vaccines is a safe and efficient method of vaccination. Patients can attend these clinics and decline to have one or the other of the vaccines, however, we would encourage patients to have both vaccines as we will not be holding separate catch-up clinics at a later date.

Care Home and Housebound Patients – The Surgery will ensure that all care homes and housebound patients are offered both flu and covid vaccinations from 3rd of October to late November.

Flu only children’s clinics

ALL 2 – 3yr olds will be invited to have their Flu vaccine in special children’s clinics at the Surgery. We will contact you about these flu clinics shortly. The Surgery will NOT be offering Covid boosters to under 18’s. Eligible children will need to book to have their Covid booster via the National Booking System.

Shingles, pneumonia, and RSV

We will invite eligible patients to have these vaccines directly. It will not be given at the same time as the Flu and Covid vaccine.
