Winter Covid Vaccinations

COVID-19 vaccination is an important part of protecting yourself if you're at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.  The COVID-19 vaccines are offered because viruses change and protection fades over time. It's important to top up your protection if you're eligible.

You can get the winter COVID-19 vaccine if you:

• • are aged 75 or over (including those who will be 75 by 31 January 2026)
  • are aged 6 months to 74 years and have a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment
  • live in a care home for older adults

If you are eligible, St Andrew's will send you a booking link via text message.   

Vaccinations wll be given at Oxford Road on Saturdays in October and where appropriate, will include the flu vaccination.
