🔹 We have scheduled COVID-19 Spring Booster vaccination clinics for 3-5pm on Wed 29th April & Wed 13th May
🔹 Eligible patients will receive an invitation to attend

The 2026 COVID-19 spring vaccination programme gets under way on Monday 20 April, giving the more vulnerable members of our community the opportunity to top up their protection ahead of any potential waves of COVID-19 over the coming months.

This year’s spring vaccine will be offered to:
• adults aged 75 years old or over;
• residents in a care home for older adults;
• individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed, as defined in COVID-19: the green book, chapter 14a.

For further information on the spring top up see www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/covid-19-vaccine

The Practice runs a baby vaccination clinic every Thursday afternoon. A team of Health Visitors and a GP complete the vaccinations.
We also run a monthly pre-school vaccination clinic.
Contact the Practice on 02871 262790 if your child requires any of their vaccines.

If you are unsure if your child is up to date with vaccinations the easiest way to check is to look at your child’s red book or speak to your health visitor. If your child has missed a vaccination, please contact your GP practice to book an appointment as soon as you can to make sure they have maximum protection against disease.

The NI childhood immunisation schedule is changing giving even better protection with the introduction of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.

From January 2026, eligible children will be offered a combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) - as part of the routine infant vaccination schedule.

As with other childhood immunisations, parents will be contacted by their GP surgery to arrange an appointment if their child is eligible. If you are unsure if your child is up to date with vaccinations the easiest way to check is to look at your child’s red book or speak to your health visitor or GP.
