Covid Booster Vaccines

The Health Secretary has recently announced that booster doses will be brought forward to 3 months following 2nd doses.  We have not yet received offical notice that we can vaccinate anyone before 6 months.  When we are given the go ahead to vaccinate earlier, we will contact you and send a link for you to book your appointment at our pop-up clinic at Grappenhall Surgery.  Please do not contact the surgery, we will contact you.  Please ensure that we have your most up-to-date mobile number so we can send you the link. 

We have now started booking patients for their covid booster vaccine.  You will be contacted when you booster is due, this will be no sooner than 182 days following your 2nd dose.  We will be holding weekly covid booster pop-up clinics at Grappenhall Surgery. You will receive a link via a text message to book your appointment.  Please ensure you update us with your mobile number so you do not miss out on your vaccine.  If you are unable to book via the link, please contact Kat on 07851 960244 to book your appointment for you.  If you are eligible for a flu vaccine, you can receive this at the same time. 

IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE YOUR BOOSTER APPOINTMENT, PLEASE LET US KNOW SO WE CAN ALLOCATE YOUR DOSE TO ANOTHER PATIENT, ANY UNUSED VACCINES HAVE TO BE THROWN AWAY.  PLEASE CONTACT THE SURGERY OR RING KAT ON 07851 960244.
