COVID-19 Spring Boosters 2024 Campaign

Posted on:

We are pleased to confirm that we will again be delivering the COVID-19 booster vaccination on behalf of NHS England during this April & May.

Who can get a spring COVID-19 vaccination?

You may be eligible if you are:
• aged 75 years or over (by 30 June 2024)
• aged 6 months or over and have a weakened immune system
• a resident in a care home for older adults.

It’s recommended that you get a spring COVID-19 vaccination 6 months after your last dose. It must be at least 3 months (91 days) since your last COVID-19 vaccination. You can get your spring COVID-19 vaccination regardless of your previous vaccination history.

Household contacts of people with a weakened immune system are not eligible.

How will I be invited?

If you are eligible for a vaccination, you may receive a letter, text, email or NHS App message from NHS England. You may also receive a text message from us, inviting you to visit the NHS England online booking page

How do I make an appointment?

This spring, we are collaborating with Greensand Health Centre to deliver the vaccination. Booking a vaccine can only be made through the National Booking System (NBS) – either by going online at www.nhs.uk/book-vaccine, using the NHS app or calling 119.

THESE CLINICS WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE TO BOOK VIA NHS NBS FROM MONDAY 15TH APRIL 2024 so please do not try to book your appointment until then.

Please also note that our receptionists are unable to book or view these appointments on your behalf. If at the time of booking, our site is not offered to you, this will be because all our clinics are already fully booked.

When and where?

We will start the campaign by vaccinating our patients that are currently registered as housebound and residents of our local Care/Nursing Homes. This will be a joint effort with Greensand Health Centre and will take place over 3 days, from 16th to 18th April 2024.

Vaccination Clinics will be held at the Loose Branch Surgery and Headcorn Surgery between 23rd April and 9th May.

We may possibly do further ad-hoc clinics during May, and if so, we will post further details nearer the time.

Thank you
