Our vaccination team are now engaged in delivering the Spring Covid booster jab.
This has already kicked off with the team visiting care homes to dispense the jabs with home visits for the housebound also being prioritised in the next few days.
Invitations are also now going out via text tor letter to eligible categories, including the over 75s and those with a weakened immune system, with instructions on how to book your jab via the National Booking Service.
We are holding vaccination clinics at our new vaccination site on Wigan Road, Euxton, opposite the Bay Horse pub, from Wednesday to Friday and at Buckshaw Surgery on Saturday and Sunday, starting from next week.
Eligible patients may call at the clinic as walk-ins but please note you may face a lengthy wait as pre-booked patients will be prioritised and we would advise pre-booking if possible.
