  • Flixton Road Medical Centre is providing vaccinations to people in cohorts 1-9 and this will continue.
  • We are continuing to book in people in cohorts 1-9 who have not yet been vaccinated for their first dose and we will carry on doing this to make sure that no-one is left behind.
  • People in cohorts 1 – 9 who haven’t had a first dose yet should contact the practice now for a first dose appointment.
  • We will be able to give the second dose to everyone who has had their first dose of the vaccine with us and we will continue to invite people for their second dose when this is due.
  • We will not be providing a vaccination service for people aged 18 to 49 when they become eligible. We were set up as a service for cohorts 1-9 only and there are a wide range of alternative local options for people who are due to be vaccinated next.
  • If you are in this younger cohort, you will be able to get your vaccination at other local vaccination services including hospital hubs, community pharmacies and larger vaccination centres
  • When you become eligible, you will be able to book your vaccine and choose a local service through the national booking service at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/ or by phoning 119.
  • Other services in this area have sufficient capacity to be able to vaccinate everyone who is eligible when it is their turn.

It is very important that when you are invited, you attend the appointment for the vaccine.
