Appointments at our vaccine clinics are now able to be booked online using the NHS booking system or by calling 119.

 

Booster vaccinations

If you are:

- Aged 16 and over 

- Aged 12-15 over with a health condition that puts you at high risk from COVID-19, or live in a household with someone who is immunosuppressed

You are eligible for a Covid-19 Booster when you reach three months from the date of your second vaccination. 

You can call the practice, use the National Booking System website, or call 119 when you reach three months post your second vaccination. 

Currently, the practice is only being supplied with Moderna vaccines. Therefore, we can only offer covid vaccination to patients over the age of 18. 

4th Dose as Booster

For guidelines on who is eligible for a 4th dose of a covid vaccine, please see guidelines here. You should receive a letter 3 months after your 3rd dose inviting you for a Booster if you are eligible, however, please call the surgery if you have not received this invitation and you believe you should have. 

Spring Booster Vaccines

Thousands of people eligible for a Spring COVID-19 booster have not yet come forward. 

The NHS in Sussex is calling for anyone who now due a second COVID-19 vaccination to book theirs this week. 

Latest figures show that 116,628 of those who are eligible have had their spring or second booster, but 91,894 people are now eligible and are yet to come forward or be vaccinated. With hundreds of appointments available this week, people are being urged to book theirs as soon as possible.

 People are eligible for a spring or second booster if they are aged 75 and over or they are aged 12 years and over and have a weakened immune system. 

People living in older people’s care homes are also eligible and specific visits are being planned in order to make sure these people get their vaccination. 

In the majority of cases, people will receive the Moderna vaccination – one of the three approved vaccines in the UK widely used throughout the programme to date. The practice is currently offering Moderna vaccine, more information can be found here

The NHS is also calling on family members and friends to make sure their loved ones have received their vaccine if they are due. Call 119 from 8am to 8pm or use the National Booking Service website to book a local appointment. Walk in sessions are also available every day. For the latest list of walk in sessions and more information about the vaccination programme visit COVID-19 vaccinations – Sussex Health & Care Partnership (sussexhealthandcare.uk) 

“It may seem that COVID-19 has gone away but it is still in our communities and we want to make sure our most vulnerable have this extra protection for the coming months.

“By making sure that you have a spring booster when you are due means that it will cover you over the summer and you have had it ahead of the autumn
