Following the advice from the Secretary of State for the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England has instructed us to bring forward the COVID-19 Vaccine Programme due to the possible rise of the new BA.86 COVID variant.

The Maidenhead Primary Care Network will provide COVID Vaccinations starting from Saturday, September 16th, 2023, at The Desborough Suite, located behind the Town Hall. We will begin inviting patients in the respective cohorts to book their appointments shortly via text message. There is no need to call your Surgery to book your COVID vaccination unless you need to update them with your current mobile number.

Eligible patients for the COVID-19 Autumn Booster vaccination are as follows:

• All adults aged 65 years and over
• Persons aged 6 months to 64 years in a clinical risk group
• Persons aged 12 to 64 years who are housebound contacts of people with immunosuppression
• Persons aged 16 to 64 years who are carers
• Frontline health and social care workers, including staff working in care homes for older adults

Flu vaccines will also be available at both The Surgery and at the Desborough Suite if you wish to have them both done at the same time.
