Following the advice from the Secretary of State for the department of Health and Social Care, NHS England have been instructed us to bring the Covid 19 Vaccine Programme forward due to the possible rise of the new BA.86 Covid variant.
The Maidenhead Primary Care Network will be providing Covid Vaccinations from Saturday 16th September 2023 at The Desborough Suite, located behind the Town Hall.
We will begin inviting patients who are in cohort to book their appointments shortly via text message. There is no need to call your surgery to book your Covid vaccination unless you need to update them with your current mobile number.
Eligible patients for the Covid-19 Autumn Booster vaccination are as follows:
∙ All adults aged 65 years and over
∙ Persons aged 6 months to 64 years in a clinical risk group
∙ Persons aged 12 to 64 years who are housebound contacts of people with immunosuppression
∙ Persons aged 16 to 64 years who are carers
∙ Frontline health and social care workers, including staff working in care home for older adults
The Symons Medical Centre will be administering flu vaccinations for our patients, and invitations for this will be sent out in due course.
