We are pleased to announce that, following recent operational changes introduced by NHSE regarding the administration and recording of Covid vaccinations, The Westgate Practice will be delivering the Spring Covid Booster to eligible patients from April 2026.
We will be trialling this service for the first time and encourage all eligible patients to have their vaccination with us, helping ensure we can continue to offer this service in the future.
As with our Autumn/Winter vaccination programme, we will be holding a Saturday clinic to ensure we do not affect appointment availability during the week.
The Spring booster programme will run from 13 April to 30 June 2026.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advises that the Spring booster should be offered to:
- Adults aged 75 years and over (including those who turn 75 yrs by 30th June 2026)
- Residents in older adult care homes
- Individuals who are immunosuppressed as per The Green Book
Our care home residents and eligible housebound patients will be contacted by the practice once visit dates have been confirmed.
Eligible patients will be invited to book via:
- A self‑booking link sent by text message, or
- A letter, if no mobile number is recorded
Eligible patients will be contacted during March, so please remain vigilant for your opportunity to book your appointment with us.
