The Autumn Flu and Covid vaccination campaign will be different from previous years. Arrangements for patients aged 75 and over differ from those aged 74 and below.
Patients aged 75 and over and those with compromised immune systems:
In Autumn 2025, Covid vaccine boosters is only being offered to patients aged 75 and over and those with compromised immune systems. These patients are also eligible for a seasonal flu vaccination. Appointments for this cohort of patients should be booked via the Covid National Booking System which opens for patient bookings on 1st September 2025.
The appointments can be booked by following this link: click here or by calling NHS 119.
Most eligible patients will have used this system for their Spring boosters earlier this year. Please select the ‘Flu and COVID’ appointment option when booking online or request this when calling NHS 119.

Patients who are aged 65 to 74 and those under 65s with long term conditions such as asthma or diabetes will only be eligible for seasonal flu vaccination this Autumn. Please contact reception to book an appointment with one of our nurses.
Pregnant ladies, patients with learning disabilities, carers and those with BMI over 40 are also eligible and can book an appointment at the surgery.
Children aged 2-3
Children aged 2-3 will be eligible for a nasal flu spray and parents/guardians have been sent a text message with a booking link to arrange an appointment in one of our clinics.
Housebound Patients
Housebound patients were contacted during September to explain the process for having these vaccinations at home. If you have not heard from the vaccination team please contact the surgery and we will add you to our list if appropriate.
