COVID-19 Vaccine Information
Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine
If you are aged 60 or over
Patients aged 60 or over will now start to receive letters from the NHS England National Booking Service advising that they are able to book covid vaccination appointments.
Patients in this age group are being asked to book through the national booking line for an appointment at a vaccination centre.
To arrange your vaccination appointment:
- You can use the online National Booking Service – http://www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination
- You can call 119 free of charge, anytime between 7am and 11pm seven days a week.
Across BLMK there are vaccination centres that are available to book through the national booking system and there are vaccination centres run by local GP’s.
If you are Shielding
If you were informed by either your GP, the NHS or the Department of Health and Social Care to shield as you are clinically extremely vulnerable, you will now be contacted by your Practice to arrange an appointment for your vaccine at the GP led centre. This may take a couple of weeks as GPs work their way through their lists.
If you are aged 70 or over
If you are aged 70 or over and have not yet been vaccinated against COVID-19, you are now being asked to contact the NHS to arrange your vaccination.
Until now the NHS has asked people to wait until they are contacted to help ensure that those who are most vulnerable are protected first – and that remains the case for most people.
If you are over 70 there are a number of ways that you can arrange your vaccination appointment:
- You can use the online national booking service – http://www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination
- You can call 119 free of charge, anytime between 7am and 11pm seven days a week.
- You can contact your GP practice.
Across BLMK there are large vaccination sites that are available to book through the national booking system and there are vaccination centres run by local GP’s.
