Patients eligible for the 2023 flu vaccination include:
- Patients in long stay residential care homes
- Patients aged 65 years and over (including those who will be 65 by 31st March 2024)
- Those aged 6 months to under 65 years in a clinical at risk group (see Flu vaccine – NHS (www.nhs.uk) for more details)
- Pregnant women
- Carers
- Close contacts of immuno suppressed individuals
- Front line health and social care staff (patient contact)
- Children aged 2 or 3 years on 31st August 2023
Patients aged 50-64 years that are not in an at-risk group are NOT currently eligible. This is a change from recent years
Primary school children (reception to Year 6) and Secondary school children (Years 7-11) will be offered their flu vaccination as part of the School Immunisation Programme.
Patients eligible for the 2023 COVID Autumn booster include:
- Residents in care homes for older adults
- All adults aged 65 years and over
- People aged 6 months to 64 years in a clinical risk group, as defined in tables 3 and 4 of the Covid-19 chapter of the UKHSA Green Book on Immunisation
- Frontline health and social care workers.
- People aged 12 to 64 years who are household contacts of people with immunosuppression, as defined in the UKHSA Green Book
- People aged 16 to 64 years who are carers, as defined in the UKHSA Green Book, and staff working in care homes for older adults
This is because the risk of severe Covid continues to be strongly associated with increasing age and underlying health conditions.
We will also be contacting our registered housebound patients and care homes to arrange their vaccines
