Flu & Covid Jabs Autumn 2025
The vaccination campaign against Influenza (Flu) and Covid will begin again this autumn and Hanmer Surgery will, as ever, be offering jabs to every patient who is eligible.
This year there are some significant changes to the groups of people who can have a vaccination and we have spent a lot of time planning our vaccination clinics in order to make them as efficient as possible. The different groups are very specific and are as follows:
1. Aged 75 and over (includes those who turn 75 by 31 January 2026): Flu and Covid
2. Anyone aged between 6 months and 74 who are immunosuppressed: Flu and Covid
3. Aged 65 – 74 (includes those who turn 65 by 31 March 2026): Flu only
4. Anyone aged 6 months to 64 who is “at risk” due to a chronic disease: Flu only
5. Children aged 2 and 3 (as of 31 August 2025): Nasal Flu
6. Pregnant women: Flu only
7. Carers of a person whose health or welfare would be affected if the carer becomes ill: Flu only
8. Frontline health and social care workers: Flu only
9. Poultry workers: Flu only
10. Household contacts of the immuno-compromised: Flu only
These different groups are complicated to arrange into clinics so we are going to vaccinate batches of the same group together.
Unfortunately, this will mean that we cannot be as flexible as we would like when booking your appointments. We will be sending out invitations over the coming weeks for patients who fall into groups 1- 7. If you fall into groups 8 – 10, please contact the surgery for information on available clinics.
We hope you will understand and book your jabs in good time.
Thank you.
