💊 ONLY ORDER WHAT YOU NEED 💊

Did you know that around £7.5 million is wasted every year in Hertfordshire and west Essex on unused medicines — including inhalers, painkillers, and creams?

That’s money that could go towards vital NHS services. We need your help to change this.

✅ Only order what you need

✅ Check your medicine cabinet before reordering

✅ Speak to your healthcare professional if you’re receiving medicines you don’t use

✅ Never share prescribed medicines — they’re just for you

Together, we can make sure NHS resources go where they’re most needed. Let’s protect our health, our environment, and our community. Find out more at

Important information about this year's Covid vaccination.
Cohorts this year have changed. Please see link below for full details.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1DPPuGkcx2/

This autumn, there has been a change in who is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination. This means that you may not be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine this year, even if you were last year.

On the advice of the JCVI, the focus of COVID-19 vaccinations is shifting towards targeted vaccination of those at highest risk of serious disease. So this autumn, COVID-19 vaccinations are being offered to:

• adults aged 75 years and over
• residents in care homes for older adults
• people who are immunosuppressed

People who are immunosuppressed include those undergoing some chemotherapy and radiotherapy; transplant recipients, people with HIV; people with genetic conditions or who take medicines that supress their immune system long-term; people who have experienced blood cancers, plus some other specific groups. The definition of immunosuppressed is quite complicated but we've included a link in the comments to the 'green book' which gives more detail.

If you are not in one of the eligible groups this year, a pharmacist or GP won’t be able to give you the COVID-19 vaccine. Thank you to everyone for your understanding and for being kind to staff who are delivering the vaccination programme.

Make an appointment at Greenlight Pharmacy for your Covid Spring booster

02/04/2025

🐥COVID SPRING BOOSTER booking information🐥

People aged 75 years and older, residents in care homes for older people, and those aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system will be offered a dose of COVID-19 vaccine this spring.

🐣Now available at Greenlight pharmacy until 17th June. Please come in to book or book via the National booking system on line or by calling 119🐣

Spring 2025 vaccine eligibility

COVID-19 is more serious in older people and in people with certain underlying health conditions. For these reasons, people aged 75 years and over, those in care homes, and those aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system are being offered a spring dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

Timing of the spring vaccine

You should be offered an appointment between April and June, with those at highest risk being called in first. You will be invited to have your booster around 6 months after your last dose, but you can have it as soon as 3 months.
If you are turning 75 years of age between April and June, you do not have to wait until your birthday, you can attend when you are called for vaccination.
You will be invited for your booster, your GP may offer you the vaccine or you can book using the NHS app for Apple or Android. You can also find your nearest walk-in vaccination site from the NHS website.

Vaccines in use this spring

You will be given a booster dose of a vaccine made by Pfizer or Moderna and approved in the UK. These vaccines have been updated since the original vaccines and target a different COVID-19 variant. These updated vaccines boost protection well, and give slightly higher levels of antibody against the more recent strains of COVID-19 (Omicron).
As we cannot predict which variants of COVID-19 will be circulating this spring and summer, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) have concluded that the vaccine used in the later weeks of the autumn 2024 programme should be used.

Please accept the vaccination that is offered to you as soon as you are able to.

Who cannot take up the offer of a spring vaccine

There are very few eligible people who should not have a dose this spring. If you have had a severe reaction to a previous dose of the vaccine you should discuss this with your doctor.
