People aged 65 and over and those aged 16-64 with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk have started to receive their COVID-19 vaccination.

GP practices are currently focusing on the vaccination of people aged 16-64 who are clinically vulnerable. As a result, people aged 65 and over may experience a long wait to be vaccinated at their local GP vaccination clinic.

People who are aged 65 or over and haven’t yet had your coronavirus vaccine can do this now by contacting the national booking service via www.nhs.uk/covidvaccination or by calling 119.

By contacting the national booking service they will gain access to flexible appointments at other local vaccination services 7 days per week from 9am – 11pm.
