How to access your COVID-19 vaccination status - Information Update from the UK Government

Through the free NHS App from 17 May. You can access the app through mobile devices such as a smartphone or by tablet. Proof of your COVID-19 vaccination status will be shown within the NHS App. It is recommended that you register with the app before booking international travel.

If you do not have access to a smartphone and know that the country you are travelling to requires COVID-19 vaccination status, you can call the NHS helpline on 119 (from 17 May) and ask for a letter to be posted to you.

This must be at least 5 days after you’ve completed your course of the vaccine. We expect the letter to take up to 5 days to reach you.

Do not contact your GP surgery about your COVID-19 vaccination status. GPs cannot provide letters showing your COVID-19 vaccination status.

Flu 2020

Our Flu Vaccination Campaign has now started - Eligible patients will be invited by the practice in groups (by SMS text message or alternative method, if you cannot received SMS).

To ensure adequate social distancing and precautions during this campaign, clinics are being managed off-site on an appointment booked basis, in accordance with receipt of our vaccines. 

Patients eligible for vaccines via the practice are:-

  • Aged 65 years & over - 2 Deliveries expected – early September and early October 2020
  • 2 and 3 years old - Expected vaccine deliveries in batches from October 2020
  • Clinical at risk (6 months to 64 years) & Pregnant Women – 4 vaccine deliveries expected during October and early November

 

To support us in continuing to safely deliver our current services, please wait to be contacted. 

Aged 50 – 64 years old –this group will not be vaccinated until November and December, providing there is sufficient vaccine, and no appointments will be offered for this age group until then. This is to ensure that those who are most at risk are vaccinated first.  If you are 50-64 and you are in one of the other groups which is eligible for the flu vaccination, for example you have a health condition which puts you at risk from the flu, you will be invited earlier.
