Spring Boosters at Waitrose Vaccination Centre

The Spring Booster campaign starts on 17th April, invitations via SMS and telephone are currently going out to our eligible population.

The criteria for this booster is very specific, we will only be able to vaccinate the following cohorts:

People aged 75 and over ( must be 75 by 30/06/2023)
Patients 5years to 74 years who are immunosuppressed
A minimum of 91 days must have passed since last Covid vaccination.

HOUSEBOUND patients: 75 years and above – we will start making telephone calls next week (11th April onward to book patients who are registered as Housebound

Previous booster campaigns allowed patients deemed clinical risk/vulnerable to receive a booster – that criteria will not apply for this campaign
The vaccination centre will be open until the end of May 2023, so if you receive an invitation please book as soon as possible.

At present we are only making appointments for patients registered with the following surgeries:

Ascot Medical Centre, Binfield Surgery, Easthampstead Surgery, Forest Health Group, Great Hollands (Dr Arora), Green Meadows, Kings Corner, Magnolia House, Waterfield Practice.

We will not be doing walk-in vaccinations until later in May, subject to vaccine availability.

On Saturday, 1st April, 2023, Sandhurst Group Practice is joining The Health Triangle Primary Care Network (PCN). Primary Care Networks are groups of GP practices working together to improve the health of their patients.
We will continue to provide the same range of healthcare services and have been working to ensure a smooth transition. The majority of patients should not experience any changes, however, the change in PCN will mean there will be a change regarding the venue of the next round of COVID vaccinations. For the members of the population that are eligible, the vaccinations will take place at Birch Hill Medical Centre, rather than at the Waitrose sports hall. Patients eligible for the booster vaccination will be contacted by The Health Triangle PCN, to book an appointment at Birch Hill.
Moving to The Health Triangle PCN brings Sandhurst Group Practice opportunity to work together with our neighbouring practices to enhance future services.
