Flu Vaccination and Covid Boosters
We have now received our first delivery of the over 65y 𝐟𝐥𝐮 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 and we are starting to invite patients to clinics with our nurses.
We will also be helping to deliver the 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 doses of Pfizer vaccine in co-ordination with the rest of Rossendale Primary Care Network. Boosters will be offered in the same order as during Phase 1. Invitations are being sent nationally and our team will also contact those who are eligible when vaccine becomes available to us.

Those patients who have been invited to attend for a covid booster, can have their flu vaccine delivered at the same time as the covid vaccine in surgery.
