Latest Update 25 Feb 2021 –

Patient information leaflets are at the bottom of this page.

Latest status – 14 Jan 2021

We are currently vaccinating cohort 6, see the list of cohorts further down the page.

We were deluged by vaccines in the build up to the 14 Feb target but we’ve had a lot fewer supplies this week and next, hence fewer clinics to announce on here. We are currently inviting patients aged 50 or above with underlying conditions (those who are normally invited for a flu vaccine).

We are following the strict priorities of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). Supplies are limited so we’ll let you know on our website and Facebook page who is eligible when new supplies arrive. We’ll also contact patients directly by text or letter.

When will I be invited for a vaccine?

This is the priority list (dated 30 Dec 2020):

  1. Residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
  2. All those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
  3. All those 75 years of age and over
  4. All those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
  5. All those 65 years of age and over
  6. All individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality. (Carers are also in this group – https://www.carersuk.org/news-and-campaigns/press-releases/carers-uk-welcomes-new-jcvi-advice-which-includes-unpaid-carers-in-the-vaccination-priority-list )
  7. All those 60 years of age and over
  8. All those 55 years of age and over
  9. All those 50 years of age and over
