Autumn & Winter Flu and COVID Vaccinations 2023

Covid and Flu Vaccinations are now set to start in September. We will be vaccinating our most vulnerable housebound patients first, and then we will be running winter vaccination clinics throughout October at Broadwater Medical Centre.

We will be sending out invitations via text message or you can call our main number to book an appointment. When you receive the invitation we encourage you to make use of our online self-booking, just click on the link from the invitation and you will see appointments available to book. Rest assured there will be enough appointments for everyone who is eligible.

NHS England would like the winter vaccinations completed in a shorter window this year to provide the best protection. We will be completing the campaign by 31st October and we will be co-administering the Covid and flu vaccine in the same appointment
