Annual flu vaccination and autumn 2022 Covid 19 booster - patients aged over 65

Please note that both the above are now available to book for all patients aged over 65. NHS England has asked GP Practice’s to co-administer both injections where possible and the Rookery will be doing this over a series of clinics in September and October.

Eligible patients will receive a text or letter. That said, if you are 65 or over (or will be by 31st March 2023) please phone 01638 664338 to book an appointment for your flu vaccination and Covid booster. The clinics will be held at the Racing Centre on Fred Archer Way so that we can get as many patients vaccinated as possible at each session.

If there is someone you rely on as your carer, please ask them to contact us, or their own surgery, as they may be eligible for a free flu vaccination and Covid booster too.
