Our COVID Winter Booster vaccination programme is now underway. Getting boosted is the best way to protect yourselves, your loved ones and the community from serious illness, so please attend your appointment when invited.
The vaccination will be delivered in GP Practices, Community Pharmacies and our two Mass Vaccination Centres (MVC), and those eligible will receive an invite in the post. There is no need to contact the Health Board or your GP Practice directly.
If you are also eligible for the flu vaccine, GPs, Community Pharmacies and MVC’s may be able to offer the COVID and Flu vaccination at the same time if stock is available. However, in order to not delay the COVID-19 booster programme, you may be invited separately for your flu vaccine. Health Board staff may be invited via Occupational Health pop up clinics.
Winter booster vaccinations are only available by appointment. There will be no walk ins available for your winter booster.
If you need to reschedule or cancel your COVID-19 vaccination, please complete this form, or call the booking centre on 02921 841234. Please note our phone lines are very busy, so it may be quicker to complete the form.
If you think you have been missed, the Health Board will run a leave no one behind programme to make sure everyone eligible is offered an Winter Booster. More details will be shared as we reach the end of a cohort to manage demand.
