People aged 75 years and older, residents in care homes for older people, and those aged 6 months and over with a weakened immune system will be offered a booster of the COVID-19 vaccine this spring.
Visits to older adult care homes and eligible housebound patients should begin 15 April 2024. For all other eligible patients, vaccinations should start by 22 April 2024 and end on 30 June 2024.
Holderness Health will not be offering the spring booster in the surgery. The East Riding of Yorkshire Health & Care Partnership has appointed Wilberforce Pharmacy to support the vaccination programme within the Holderness area. Wilberforce will be visiting our local Care Homes for Older people and housebound patients over the age of 75 (and those turning 75 by 30 June 2024) to administer the vaccine.
Anyone eligible who does not live in a local care home and is not housebound will be able to access appointments through the National Booking Service online or by calling 119. We also understand that plans are also being put in place to offer local appointments in both Withernsea and Hedon once again.
