Covid booster vaccines for patients over 40 years old and second doses for 16 and 17 year olds

Posted on November 15th, 2021

15th November 2021

Following today’s announcement that patients over 40 years old are now eligible to receive a Covid booster dose and that 16 and 17 year olds are now eligible to receive a second dose: if you are in this group, please book an appointment via the online booking service through the NHS website or 119.

We would like to remind you that Sonning Common Health Centre, as part of the PCN, will be finishing Phase 3 of our vaccination programme at the end of November.  Our priority is to vaccinate our high risk and vulnerable patient groups.  Please keep these appointments available for this aforementioned group.

We would like to state that this new guidance had not been conveyed to the practice prior to today’s announcement.
