If you haven’t yet had a first or second dose Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination, it’s not too late. We have clinics running regularly at our four local vaccination centres, where you can walk-in or pre-book.

· For people aged 16+.

o Young people aged 16 and 17 will receive a single vaccine.

o Young people within three months of turning 18, and those aged 18+, will be offered two doses of the vaccination, 8 weeks apart.

· Second doses 8+ weeks since the first.

Booster and flu vaccinations

Patients eligible for the Covid booster and flu vaccines will be contacted to book an appointment in priority order. The Covid-19 booster vaccine will be offered at least 6 months (180 days) after your second dose of the vaccine. Please wait to be contacted.

12 to 15-year-old vaccination programme

Vaccinations for 12 to 15-year-olds are not currently available at Bury’s four vaccination clinics.

 

For pupils aged 12 to 15 who have consent for a Covid-19 vaccination in school but missed the session previously arranged at school, catch up vaccination sessions have been organised with schools. Alternatively, vaccinations for 12 to 15-year-olds can be booked at external vaccination clinics via the National Booking Service: www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/ or by calling 119.
