• frontline health and social care workers

• all adults aged 50 years and over

• persons aged 5 to 49 years in a clinical risk group*

• persons aged 5 to 49 years who are household contacts of people with immunosuppression

• persons aged 16 to 49 years who are carers*

*Details of clinical risk groups and definitions of carers can be found online ( see Green Book online).

We just had a clinic on 15th October and will get in touch if more clinics will available. Alternatively, visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/

Both COVID19 & Influenza vaccination programmes are important for individual and public health, especially over the coming winter.
