From 1st October 2025, the Surgery will be offering Seasonal influenza vaccines and Covid-19 vaccinations to those patients who are eligible.
Those patients who are eligible will be contacted in due course. Please note, the criteria for these vaccines varies each year and as such, you may not be eligible this year despite being so previously.
Text messages containing a booking link will be sent out once the Surgery receives its vaccination stock however, telephone calls will also be made to those patients who are vulnerable or may not have access to a mobile phone.
Patients who are eligible for both and wish to receive them, both vaccines can be administered at the same time.
If you are unsure as to whether you are eligible, please visit the GOV.UK link for flu: National flu immunisation programme 2025 to 2026 letter – GOV.UK and for Covid-19: Advice accepted on autumn 2025 COVID-19 vaccination programme – GOV.UK
As these vaccination programs start during one of the busiest times of year for the health sector, the Surgery would like to politely request that if you have any concerns or queries regarding either vaccine, calls to the Surgery are made after 2pm in an attempt to reduce call wait times.
Thank you for your co-operation,
West Heath Surgery
