Spring Covid Boosters

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 (including those who turn 75 by the end of June), 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.

The Rycote Practice are running vaccination clinics on the following dates:
Saturday 18th April 08:30 – 13:30
Saturday 25th April 08:30 – 13:30

Please book online when you receive your text message, using the link provided. Alternatively, you can call the practice after 09:30 to arrange your appointment. If you do not wish to have the Covid booster, please let us know so that we can update your medical record to reflect this.
