Autumn Flu/Covid/RSV clinics

We are currently planning our autumn vaccination campaign and will send invitations out to all eligible patients for a single appointment where we aim to administer flu and covid vaccinations (if patients are eligible for both) at the same time (individual appointments are available if preferred). New guidance from Welsh Government stipulates that a flu vaccine should not be given until October and as a result, our invitations will be a little bit later than usual. Please rest assured that we will invite all patients in our cohorts.

Our cohorts for flu vaccinations this autumn are:

• Children aged two and three years on 31 August 2024
• People aged 65 years and older (age on 31 March 2025)
• People aged 6 months to 64 years in a clinical risk group
• Pregnant women

The cohorts we have been asked to invite for a covid vaccination this autumn are:

• Immunosuppressed patients aged 18 years and over
• Adults aged 65 and over
