COVID-19 Vaccination programme

Patients are asked not to contact the surgery regarding COVID-19 Vaccinations.

The NHS will be starting to vaccinate the most at-risk priority groups, including over-80s and social care workers in local hospital hubs. The NHS will be starting to call people who fall into these priority groups over the coming weeks to book appointments for them.

You may have been called by Addenbrooke’s or Peterborough City Hospital to attend one of the first clinics at the hospital sites. You can choose to accept this appointment or wait until more clinics and locations are available in the community.

When more vaccines become available, the vaccines will be offered to other people at risk as soon as possible. Please don’t contact the NHS to seek a vaccine before then.

If you have not yet been approached about having the Covid-19 vaccine, please read the information: why you are being asked to wait. You can also find further information on the Covid-19 vaccine here.

Please wait to be invited for a Covid-19 vaccination. You may receive this via a letter or text message asking you to call us. Please be aware that we will never ask for payment for the Covid-19 vaccination and any text message requesting payment should be ignored.

 Please continue to abide by all the social distancing, wearing of face masks and hand hygiene guidance, which will still save lives

Flu VaccinationsFlu Vaccine Update:

Patients over the age of 50 will be entitled to a free flu vaccination from 1st December.  We are co-ordinating this next phase of flu clinics and will be in contact with all eligible patients to book an appointment.
