People who have been identified by the NHS as an unpaid carer will receive a letter - they are encouraged to then take this letter to their GP to be registered as an unpaid carer, if they aren't already. This is part of a long-term strategy to have unpaid carers registered so they will be able to access any future vaccination drives.

Walk in for your Covid-19 Booster if you have been contacted 

The COVID-19 booster programme is now taking place across South West London. The COVID-19 booster is an additional vaccine dose for those who have previously received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. It is for people who are the most likely to become seriously ill from COVID-19 to give them the best possible protection.   

Booster vaccines can only be offered to people who have at least a six month gap (182 days) from their second vaccination. When ready, you will be invited to get your booster by your GP and/or be contacted by the NHS. As well as booking online, you can now walk in for your booster at various sites across London if you have been contacted: Walk-in and pop up vaccination clinics - South West London CCG (swlondonccg.nhs.uk) 

The flu vaccination programme is also up and running and helps protect from serious complications from getting flu. We would encourage people that are eligible for a COVID-19 booster to also get their flu vaccination.
