“Message to our patients – update on the COVID-19 booster programme

 Across Preston the NHS and its partners are working extremely hard to roll out the COVID-19 booster vaccination programme to our communities.

 All Adults are eligible from Monday 13^th December, and you will be able to book via the National Booking system from Wednesday 15^th December.

 Please do not contact the practice over any vaccination queries or try to book through the practice as this will stop patients with medical conditions being able to get through.

You can book your booster for 3 months from the date of second vaccine, and you can access the National Booking System to book the appointment from 2 months.

We are working at pace to increase the availability of appointments so that there are plenty of options for people on the National Booking System. Some local vaccination services will also contact patients directly.

New appointments are being added every day across our vaccination services. Further availability will come online from Wednesday 15^th December.

We will be working with all our sites to take further steps to increase what they can offer again, including opening later and on more days.

All these appointments will be added to the National Booking System. We encourage everyone who is aged 18 or over, is yet to have their booster and who is approaching 3 months from your second vaccine to use the National Booking System to arrange your appointment when you are able to do so.

In terms of any planned appointments with Dr Wilson & Partners, there are no changes at the current time, and everyone should attend your planned appointments as normal. If we need to make any changes, we will contact you directly.”
