Vaccination Update – November 9 2023

More than 250,000 COVID-19 Autumn booster appointment letters have now been sent to patients across North Wales as our vaccination campaign continues to progress.

Over 80% of people eligible for the vaccine in our region have been contacted with an invitation to increase their protection against the virus this winter.

Around 90,000 of the most vulnerable people in North Wales have already had their COVID-19 Autumn booster vaccine, including many of our oldest and most immunosuppressed residents.

Our vaccination teams and partners routinely deliver more than 2,500 booster vaccines at our network of clinics every day.

Your appointment

We are sending appointments to people eligible for the vaccine in order of clinical priority, as advised by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.

The remaining 20% of eligible patients, including carers and those who live with people who are immunosuppressed, will receive details of their appointment in the next three weeks.

If you are eligible for a COVID-19 Autumn booster but have not yet received your appointment please do be patient. There is no need to contact us.

Your appointment may be held at a community vaccination centre near your home or at your GP surgery. Your letter will include all the details you need, including date, time and location.

Make sure you get both your COVID-19 Autumn booster and flu vaccines this autumn

You can check if you are eligible for a COVID-19 Autumn booster and a flu vaccine and find out how you are likely to receive them here.

In most cases, patients will be invited to separate appointments for their vaccines. 

Where possible, some patients may be offered their COVID-19 Autumn booster and flu vaccinations at the same appointment. It is safe and effective to receive both vaccines at the same time.

Please protect yourself this winter – make sure you take up your invitation to receive both your COVID-19 Autumn booster and flu vaccine as soon as possible.
