SPRING BOOSTERS:

• Spring booster COVID-19 vaccination appointments are available in Cheshire now for: People aged 75+, residents of care homes for older adults and people aged 12+ who have a weakened immune system.
• If eligible, the quickest and easiest way to arrange a Spring booster vaccination is online via the National Booking Service (or by calling 119).
• In line with national guidance, Spring booster vaccinations are predominantly being administered in pharmacies. There is no need to contact your GP practice.
• Everyone who is eligible will receive a national letter from the NHS over the Spring and early Summer inviting them for a top-up.
• Locally, eligible residents who are able to attend a vaccination centre - but live in areas not covered by a GP-led site - will receive a further letter from the local NHS to outline their local vaccination options.

More information about Cheshire’s COVID-19 Vaccination Programme - including sites offering walk-in Spring booster vaccinations - is available here

COVID VACCINATION QUERIES:

If there is incorrect/missing information on your vaccine record then you need to call 119 and ask the operator to make a referral to the Vaccine Data Resolution Service (VDRS).  You will then receive a call back from the VDRS service within 5 working days.  We cannot assist you with vaccination queries unless you were vaccinated in our surgery.

As well as general assets for those with health concerns, ordering repeat prescriptions and video consolations, specific assets are now available for some long-term illnesses/vulnerable patients such as those with diabetes or asthma and pregnant people and new parents.
