2022-23 Covid/Flu Vaccinations
Kelvingrove Medical Centre, working with colleagues in neighbouring practices as part of ARCH Primary Care Network, will be offering covid-19 booster and annual flu vaccines soon.
We will invite eligible people to book in for these important vaccines as soon as we can confirm clinic dates and vaccine supply. There will be clinics at the Church Farm Ripley hub for covid-19 boosters (only), and clinics at the surgery where we intend to offer flu and covid-19 vaccines together where possible.
Supplies are limited in September and expected to increase in October, so please wait for us to contact you to book an appointment. Central NHS letters will be sent sooner (in age order), and you can book your vaccine elsewhere by calling 119 once you have had the letter. Please note that our local service is NOT part of the national 119 booking system, so if you would prefer to have the vaccine(s) at the practice or our Ripley hub please wait till we have invited you ourselves.
As a reminder the eligible cohorts are as below;
- residents in a care home for older adults and staff working in care homes for older adults
- frontline health and social care workers
- all adults aged 50 years and over
- persons aged 5 to 49 years in a clinical risk group

Message to our patients – update on the COVID-19 booster programme
13th December 2021
Across Derby and Derbyshire, the NHS and its partners are working extremely hard to roll out the COVID-19 booster vaccination programme to our communities.
All adults are eligible from Monday 13th December, and you will be able to book via the National Booking System from Wednesday 15th December.
You can book your booster for 3 months from the date of second vaccine, and you can access the National Booking System to book the appointment from 2 months.
We are working at pace to increase the availability of appointments so that there are plenty of options for people on the National Booking System. Some local vaccination services may also contact patients directly.
New appointments are being added every day across our vaccination services. Further availability will come online from Wednesday 15th December.We will be working with all of our sites to take further steps to increase what they can offer again, including opening later and on more days.
All of these appointments will be added to the National Booking System and so we encourage everyone who is aged 18 and over, is yet to have their booster and who is approaching 3 months from your second vaccine to use the National Booking System to arrange your appointment when you are able to do so.
In terms of any planned appointments with Kelvingrove Medical Centre there are no changes at the current time, and everyone should attend their planned appointments as normal. If we need to make any changes, we will contact you directly.
Applications for Covid vaccine exemptions CANNOT be issued at the practice.
Please call 119 to obtain them

If you are unhappy or have any concerns we would request that these are raised in the appropriate manner. Thank you |  |
