COVID-19 Vaccination

Communal environments such as public places or retirement homes are where infections can spread rapidly. Vaccines are the best protection of serious illness and hospital. Patients are to be provided access to recommended vaccinations. This includes vaccines such as influenza, COVID-19, shingles and pneumococcal.

COVID-19 vaccines are free and recommended:

🟥every 6 months for people aged 75 and over
🟧every 12 months for people aged 65 to 74
🟨every 12 months for adults who are severely immunocompromised

Organise access to COVID-19 vaccination now through the Practice either using the Online booking system: Hot Doc or Calling our friendly reception staff on 08 8166 2499.
