COVID Vaccination Process at Wallis Avenue Surgery

With immediate effect we have closed the COVID booking line as patients can now book all future COVID vaccination appointments via 119 or nhs.uk

The COVID telephone line has now been closed with a message re-directing patients to the above.

NEW BOOKING ARRANGEMENTS FOR COVID-19 VACCINATIONS - Effective 1st November 2021

With effect from 1st November 2021, to book a COVID vaccination please call 119 or book online via nhs.uk.

This change in procedure allows us to streamline the existing booking system for everyone. Therefore, please can we ask you do not call our main surgery line in this respect as you will only be re-directed to call 119.

Please remember these are not walk-in clinics but by appointment only.

If you have received a text, letter or email from NHS England confirming you are eligible to receive your Covid-19 booster vaccine you can now call 119 or book online via nhs.uk to make an appointment to attend one of the forthcoming clinics.

Booster vaccinations

Please do not call the practice with general queries about Covid-19 vaccination.

The booster vaccination programme is now aiming to offer appointments to all adults aged 18 and over by 31 December 2021. Local vaccination teams are working to rapidly increase the availability of appointments.

The national booking system has opened for over 30s on 14 December and will open for 18-29-year-olds on Wednesday, 15 December. Some local vaccination services will also contact patients directly. You can book using the national booking service by calling 119 or at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/ The national booking service will only show clinics that have appointments available when you visit the site/call 119; but clinics regularly add more dates.

It is important to note that the time between your second dose and a booster must be at least three months. Please make sure you have the date of your 2nd dose to hand as they will need to confirm this with you.

We now have over 20 vaccination clinics across Kent and Medway listed on the national booking service including pharmacy and GP run services. Any clinic listed can be used by anyone – you don’t need to be registered with GP services that are listed. Call 119 or book online.
